The DECNET_REGISTER utility is normally invoked using the RUN command. It can also be invoked using a foreign command symbol. For example: $ RUN SYS$SYSTEM:DECNET_REGISTER !Invoke the utility $ NETREG :== $SYS$SYSTEM:DECNET_REGISTER !Foreign command symbol $ NETREG !Invoke the utility If a foreign command symbol is used, a command line can be passed directly to DECNET_REGISTER on the invocation command line. For example: $ NETREG SHOW NODE MyNode If the utility is invoked by a foreign command symbol with a command line, as shown above, it executes the command and exits after the command is complete. If not, it continues to accept commands until an explicit exit command is issued.
