HP Systems Insight Manager 6.3 Command Line Interface Guide
ignores the task dependencies of the tool and removes it. You can specify tools as a list of
tool names, a list of categories, or a tool definition file.
• mxtool -l d|f|n|t [-c category...|-t toolname... ]
This command enables you to list tools or view specific tool definitions.
◦ With no options or the n qualifier, the names of all registered tools are listed.
◦ With the d qualifier, a detailed screen-viewable list of tools is displayed.
◦ With the f qualifier, mxtool writes a complete tool definition (see mxtool(4)) for each
tool to stdout.
◦ With the t qualifier, a tabular listing showing some attributes of all registered tools is
displayed.
◦ The -c option constrains the output to one or more tool categories.
◦ The -t option constrains the output to specific tools.
• mxtool -lf [-b encoding ] [-c category...|-t toolname... ]
This command lists the tools in an XML file.
Optionally, you can specify the character encoding of the XML file. The value for the character
encoding must match a valid character encoding. If no encoding is specified, the system
attempts to write the file in the encoding currently defined on the system. See http://
www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets for the list of valid character sets.
• mxtool
This command lists the names of all tools currently configured in the Systems Insight Manager
domain.
Options
-a
Add one or more tools specified in a tool definition file.
-r
Remove one or more tools.
-m
Replace one or more tool definitions with the definitions in the specified tool
definition file.
-i
Ignore changes to toolboxes in the tool definitions. This option is only valid with
-m.
-s
Scan the specified tool definition file for syntax errors without performing any other
operations.
-c category
Specify a tool category. Specifying an undefined category name causes mxtool
to return an empty tool list and a return value of SUCCESS. Specifying a category
name that violates the rules for category names (see mxtool(4)), results in an
invalid name return value.
