Overview
The Remote Sysop Commands are a set of instructions that you can issue to one of the online pseudo users in order to perform useful admin-related tasks on the server machine while you yourself are at a remote location.
Commands include restarting and shutting down the server, adjusting file names, types, creators, locations and rebuilding File Search Engine data files and repairing topic files.
