There are several ways to start or restart the Novell Client for Linux.
Restarting the Linux Workstation: This is the best way to ensure that the Novell Client for Linux is completely restarted.
Manually Starting 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 Novell Client for Linux daemon modules.
Updates: /opt/novell/ncl/bin/ncl_control restart
This command stops and then reloads all 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.
The ncl_control restart command is run automatically at the end of the installation of the Novell Client packages.
