112 Command Line Interface
Commands
The command syntax is as follows:
command
oper
and
operand [value]
operand [value1] [value2]
The command is followed by one or more operands. Consider the following rules and conventions:
• Commands and operand are case insensitive.
• Required operand values appear in standard font: [value]. Optional values are shown in italics:
[value].
• Underlined portions of the operand in the command format indicate the abbreviated form that can be
used. For example the Del
ete operand can be abbreviated Del.
The command-line completion feature makes entering and repeating commands easier. Table 27 describes
the command-line completion keystrokes.
The command set performs monitoring and configuration tasks. Commands related to monitoring tasks are
available to all account names. Commands related to configuration tasks are available only within an
Admin session. An account must have Admin authority to enter the Admin Start command, which opens an
Admin session. See the ”Admin command” on page 114. The commands and their page numbers are
listed in Table 28.
