HP Systems Insight Manager 5.3 Command Line Interface reference guide

• mxuser

On a Windows CMS, if you are not a member of the local Administrators group, add the options --user
username and --pass password when running any of the listed commands. For example, to list
information about one or more authorizations in compact or table form, enter mxauth [-lt] --user
username --pass password.
On a Linux or HP-UX CMS, you can add the options --user username and --pass password to
a command in order to run it under a different account than the one that is logged in. For example, if you
have limited configuration rights, and you want to remove multiple authorizations by specifying an input
file, which requires full configuration rights, enter mxauth -a|r -f filename --user username
--pass password and use the login information of a full-configuration-rights user.
Quotation marks
When you enter a CLI command with a string that includes spaces or special characters, you must enclose
the string in quotation marks. For example: mxreport -l -x report -n "Inventory - Servers".
Logging out of the CLI
After you are finished with an SSH session, log out from HP SIM to prevent someone from accessing your
active session.
To log out from the CLI, log off of the CMS or the Secure Shell (SSH) client application.
