Q My friend who runs a Novell server says that sometimes when he tries to unload an NLM, the
console prompt never comes back. Isn’t there any way to recover from this?
A Glad you asked. Novell IntraNetWare 4.11 and higher will allow you to type Ctrl+Alt+Esc at the
console. This generates the following prompt:
Down server and exit to DOS?
The answer to this question is yes. Although I wish there were a way to run another console prompt, or at
least to free up the console prompt when this happens, so far Novell hasn’t obliged.
If you still have NetWare 3.x around, you can use the FCONSOLE program to down a server that’s not
responding; the Ctrl+Alt+Esc key combination won’t work.
