HP Systems Insight Manager 6.0 Command Line Interface Guide

Specify the arguments required for the intended tool execution. The values are matched to
the arguments by order: first specified to first argument, second specified to second argument,
and so on.
If an argument value contains embedded spaces or other characters interpreted by the shell,
enclose it in quotation marks.
Argument values are separated by spaces. When specifying argument values, enter any
necessary spaces. The CLI will not add additional spaces to those defined in the tool definition
or argument value.
If you do not want to specify a value for an optional argument, enter "" to indicate a
placeholder.
For security reasons HP SIM prohibits the following characters from being entered as part
of an argvalue: grave accents (`), semicolon (;), ampersand (&), bar (|), left parenthesis
('('), hash mark (#), greater than sign (>), less than sign (<), and the new line character.
-h
Suppress job information headers and send the job output directly to stdout or stderr
as appropriate. Exception information is sent to stderr.
-O filename
Save the stdout and stderr data produced by the tool execution to the file filename
. The file's pathname can be absolute or relative to the current directory. If the file already
exists, it will be replaced. If it does not exist, it will be created. If the output file cannot be
created in the given path, HP SIM tries to write the file to the /var/tmp directory. If that
fails, the output is sent to stdout.
-o directory
Save the stdout and stderr data produced by the tool execution, one results file
per target node, in the specified directory . The name of each results file is in the format
nodename.job_ID.
-n target [target...]
Specify the names of the managed nodes and node groups on which to execute the tool.
This list of nodes and node groups is called the target list . The targets are separated by
spaces, and node groups are identified by the g: prefix.
-q queryname
Specify the name of an existing query on which to execute the tool.
-i task_name [task_name...]
Specify the existing tasks on which to perform a specified operation.
-j jobID [jobID...]
Specify the currently running job on which to perform a specified operation.
-d date
List the jobs completed after a specific date. Enter the date in the format: month/day/year
hour:minute AM|PM. Enclose the string specifying the date in quotation marks to ensure
that it is interpreted as a single argument, including the embedded spaces.
-c
Cancel a job.
-k
Kill any running commands associated with a job.
-l d
