5.1 The acuserve Command

The acuserve command is your control and maintenance interface to AcuServer. The acuserve command is used on the server at the command line (or with icons under Windows NT and Windows 2000) and initiates the following actions:

starts and stops the acuserve program and installs and removes acuserve as a Windows NT/Windows 2000 service
reports AcuServer system status
closes stranded files
creates and maintains the server access file

Note that on Windows NT and Windows 2000 machines, you can perform many of same functions using the graphical user interface program, "NTSAcuSv.acu." The "NTSAcuSv" program is installed automatically when you install AcuServer. For information on using the GUI program to issue acuserve commands on Windows NT or Windows 2000, open the on-line help file "NTSAcuSv.hlp" installed in the same directory where the ACUCOBOL-GT software is installed, for example, c:\Acucorp\Acucbl5xxx\Acugt\Bin (where xxx is the version number).
