LCNODE (LIST_CONNECTED_NODES) -- List nodes connected to the network.
usage: LCNODE [-M | -B [-ID] | -C] [-MAXNODES nnn] [-FROM node_spec]
FORMAT
LCNODE [options]
LCNODE lists the nodes currently connected to the network. The list contains
the ID of every node connected, the time at which the node was started, the
current time, and the name of each node's entry directory.
This command reports only the nodes that respond within a preset time limit.
Should a node be connected, but temporarily unable to respond within the
specified time, it will not appear in the produced list.
OPTIONS
-M[E] Request information about your node only. This option
displays the node ID.
-B[RIEF] Request brief output. LCNODE lists only the entry
directory name for each connected node. Note that the
entry directory of a diskless node is the entry directory
of its paging partner.
-ID When used with -BRIEF, display the node ID in addition to
the entry directory.
-C[OUNT] Request node count only. LCNODE lists only the number of
nodes responding to its query.
-MAX[NODES] n
Set a limit on the number of nodes you want to see, even if
more could have responded.
-FROM node_spec
Starts the node list at some node other than your own. This
is especially useful in an internet environment, for
looking at networks other than your own. See HELP
NODE_SPEC for details about node specification syntax.
-NAME When you specify the -BRIEF option, LCNODE normally prints
the entry directory for each node. If you specify -NAME
with -BRIEF, LCNODE prints the node-name catalogued with
the naming server. Only diskless nodes are printed
differently. A diskless node's entry directory is its
partner's node name; a diskless node's node-name is
uniquely its own.
Unless the -FROM option specifies your own node, the list
will only include an unbroken sequence of nodes running
AEGIS SR9.0 or later. The rest of the node list is lost,
starting with the first running a pre-SR9.0 AEGIS.
EXAMPLES
1. $ lcnode
The node ID of this node is 21.
3 other nodes responded.

2. $ lcnode -me
The node ID of this node is 21.
3. $ lcnode -b
//dollar
//quarter
//nickel
//quarter
(//QUARTER appears once as the host for a diskless node and
once for the node with the disk.)
4. $ lcnode -b -name
//dollar
//quarter
//nickel
//diskless_$000011
(-NAME shows you the name under which diskless node 11 is catalogued)
5. $ lcnode -c
466 other nodes responded.
6. $ lcnode -c -b
466
7. $ lcnode -c -m
The node ID of this node is 116A.
466 other nodes responded.
8. $ lcnode -b -id
21 //dollar
17 //quarter
27 //nickel
11 //quarter
9. $ lcnode -from 0FAD.3924 -max 2
Starting from node 3924.
1 other node responded,
but more might have responded with a high -MAX value.
