HP Systems Insight Manager 7.0 Command Line Interface Guide

immediately to the calling application with the current Systems Insight Manager

ready/not-ready state.

-t

The TIMEOUT option may be used to specify a safety timeout period that will be

utilized when the -w Wait option is used. The safety timeout provides a way for the

command to return to the calling application in case Systems Insight Manager never

reaches a ready state. For example, Systems Insight Manager is actually not running.

The -t option requires an integer argument which specifies the timeout to be used,

in minutes. If the -t option is not provided, the default timeout period that the

command will use is 30 minutes.

-v

The VERBOSE option may be used to enable verbose mode which forces the

command to print progress messages to the console (stdout), while the command

is running. This option is provided for command line use and would only be

beneficial for Systems Insight Manager partner developers who may have the need

to determine the command behavior by manual command line invocation.

-l

The LIST option is also intended for command line usage and will force the command

to print/display the current Systems Insight Manager ready/non-ready state to the

console. When using the LIST option, mxstatus will run in the NOWAIT mode to

determine and print the current Systems Insight Manager ready/non-ready state.

-h

The HELP option prints the command usage help to the console.
