HP Systems Insight Manager 6.0 Command Line Interface Guide

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 HP SIM 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 HP SIM ready/non-ready state.
-h
The HELP option prints the command usage help to the console.
