Entering Command Line Interface Commands 9
Introduction
Config.Port> root
Root > maint
Maint> port
Maint.Port> beacon 4 true
Ano ther appro ac h to making the navigation mo re c o ncise is to use the co mplete co mmand
syntax from the Root> prompt each time. For example, to issue the config.port.name
command and then the maint.port.beacon command, the commands are entered as
follows:
Root >
config port name 4 "Sam’s Tape Drive"
Root > maint port beacon 4 true
As shown in this example, use of the co mplete co mmand syntax avoids navigating up and
down the branches of the CLI command tree, and the prompt stays at the root. The use of
complete c ommand syntax is particularly useful when writing scripts.
When coding a script, remember to code the appropriate character sequences, which are
described in Navigation Conventions.
Root >
config port name 4 "Sam’s Tape Drive"<CR>
Root > maint port beacon 4 true<CR>
Limitation on Movements
As the co mmands are entered, they are rec o rded in a history log. No te these limitations on
movement that result from use of the history lo g:
• If a c ommand has mo re than 60 characters, the co mmand runs, but the c ommand is not
reco rded in the history log, and the po sition in the tree does not c hange, as sho wn in the
following example. Because the co mmand is not recorded in the history, a subsequent
async hrono us co mmand (navigatio n c ommand) c annot depend o n it.
