HP Systems Insight Manager 7.0 Command Line Interface Guide

Use the –i option to display the data for any job associated with for one or more task
names.
—
— Use the –j option to display information for one or more job IDs.
The -j option is not needed in conjunction with -l n, because the -l n option only displays
job IDs.
• Use the –d date option to limit displaying information to those jobs that completed after the
date parameter. You must use the following format for the date parameter:
“Month/day/year hour:minute AM | PM”
For the CLI to interpret the string as one parameter, including the embedded spaces, you must
use the quotation marks shown in the example. In the third example, the -l d option displays
detailed information about the job ID listed with the –j option. You can use specify one job,
and the command displays the completion status of each target system, as well as stdout, and
stderr information.
Managing users and authorizations
In Systems Insight Manager, an authorization is comprised of three components: the user, the set
of systems the user is managing, and the set of tools the user can use on the set of systems. This
section discusses using the CLI to manage users, toolboxes, and authorizations.
Managing users
The mxuser command enables you to add, modify, remove, or list users in Systems Insight
Manager. A full description for mxuser exists in the mxuser man page, and a full description of
the XML syntax required to manage users with an XML file exists in the mxuser(4) man page.
The mxuser –a user command adds the user with the login name of user to Systems Insight Manager.
The user must exist as a user on the operating system to log in to Systems Insight Manager, but
does not need to exist to be added to Systems Insight Manager. In this example, the user has
limited access rights and no authorizations.
• The –d description option enables you to provide a description of the user, such as the user
role, like Database Administrator, or HPUX Server Manager. For example:
# mxuser –a Jane –d â HPUX Administratorâ
• The –p full CMSSecurity | limited | none option enables you to specify the rights
of the user. A full rights user has unlimited access Systems Insight Manager capabilities. A
limited rights user can create tools in Systems Insight Manager, and none rights user, has
access to the listing options of Systems Insight Manager commands.
• The –C source option is useful when creating several users with the same authorizations.
For more information, see “Managing authorizations”.
• The –g userGroup option can replace user in the –a option to create a user group. Use the
–d and –p options to provide a description and access rights for the group.
• The –m user option, used in conjunction with –d and –p, enables you to modify the
description and access rights of the user. In the example above, to modify Janeâs description,
the command will look like:
# mxuser –m Jane –d â Database Administratorâ
Using –m –g userGroup, in conjunction with –d and –p, modifies the characteristics of group
userGroup.
• The mxuser –r user and mxuser –r –g userGroup commands remove a user and a
group, respectively, deleting all authorizations for the user and the group.
• The –f file option enables you to add, modify, or remove multiple users and user groups. File
contains XML syntax, allowing multiple entries to be processed. Use this option with –a, –m,
