You can also talk directly to the nsrexecd on the client with something like

echo print | nsradmin -p390113 -i - -s baba

On unix at least, it has the advantage that you can do it remote also for any
client.

I use it to test is the networker software is actually running and to exctract
the hostname as networker things it is.

Right, it's a useful technique. I have a script to check multiple
clients on multiple servers. I'll share it. Sorry about the lack of
comments, it was knocked up in a hurry and never refined since. Some of
the lines have been wrapped by my email client, you'll need to join them
back together.
