QNET Discovery

I’m sorry if this has been asked before. But here’s my problem.

I’m trying to find out if there is a way to trigger the QNET discovery
process manually.
Like refreshing the /net directory so to speak. Its 6.2.1 SE that I’m
currently developing on.

Any idea anyone?

If you attempt any operation on “/net/NODENAME”,
NODENAME will be queried for presence. If it’s up in
QNET, it will then appear in “/net”. But I don’t know
how to force a poll of the entire local LAN.

If you do a rmdir on your own entry in /net that used to force you to
rebroadcast your name.

ie:
hostname
machine-1
rmdir /net/machine-1
→ will report resource busy.
