Starting or Restarting the Novell Client for Linux

Use any of the following ways to start or restart the Novell Client for Linux:

• Restart the Linux Workstation: This is the best way to ensure that the Novell Client for

Linux is completely restarted.

• Manually Start the Novell Client: Open a terminal window and log in as root. From the /

opt directory, enter one of the following commands:

• New Installations: /opt/novell/ncl/bin/ncl_control start

This command loads all the Novell Client for Linux daemon modules.

• Updates: /opt/novell/ncl/bin/ncl_control restart

This command stops and then reloads all the Novell Client for Linux daemon modules.

If either of these commands displays any errors, restart the Linux machine.

In addition, /opt/novell/ncl/bin/ncl_control status shows whether the NCL drivers

are loaded properly or not, and /opt/novell/ncl/bin/ncl_control stop stops all Novell

Client for Linux daemon modules.

INSTALLING THE NOVELL CLIENT USING THE INSTALLATION SCRIPT

An installation script called ncl_install is provided in the Novell Client for Linux .tar.gz file

you downloaded from Novell Downloads (http://download.novell.com). This script can be used to

install, update, verify installation, display information, and uninstall the Novell Client directly from a

command prompt using documented RPM commands. This same script is copied to the /opt/

novell/ncl/bin directory during the installation of the Client for later use in verifying or

uninstalling the Client.

Run these commands from the directory where you unarchived the Client download file or from /

opt/novell/ncl/bin after the initial installation. You must be logged in as root to run these

commands.

./ncl_install install Installs the Novell Client for Linux.

./ncl_install install force Forces the installation of all Novell Client

for Linux packages.
