-I or --Infile
Table 6. -I or --Infile
Attribute Details Description
Valid Argument <filename>
Directs the Command Configure utility to take input from an INI file. The utility searches the file for a
Command Configure heading identical to the utility name. An error is returned if the file or section is
not found. If the section is found, each name/value pair is applied to the system. The names must
match a valid option, and the arguments must be in the proper format for the option. If an option is not
available on a system and it is specified in a file, the utility ignores the option. If any errors are found in
the format of the names or values, that option is skipped. The remaining options are applied to the
system.
If this option is used with other function command options, they are applied in the order in which they
appear on the command line, overriding any previous commands.
In the INI file, bootorder is displayed as a list of devices with their short forms in the order they are
assigned separated by commas.
For example:
bootorder=legacytype,+pcmcia,+hdd.1,-floppy,+cdrom,-
hdd.2,+nic.1,-hdd.3,+nic.2
A plus (+) symbol with the device name indicates that the device is enabled and a minus (-) symbol
indicates that the device is disabled. You can enable or disable the devices by changing the symbol
displayed with the device short name. These symbols are optional and if not present, the current
status of the device is retained.
NOTE: If the operating system is booted in the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface
(UEFI) mode, then the bootorder type is shown as UEFI type.
Change the boot order by changing the order of the list. You can also enter the device number instead
of the device name.
NOTE:
The bootorder option in the INI file is applied to a system based on its active boot
list. If the INI file is generated from a system with the active boot list set as UEFI, and it
is applied on a system with the active boot list set as Legacy, the boot order is set only
on devices that are available in the system. It is recommended that you apply the INI file
on a system with the same active boot list as of the system from where the INI file is
generated.
NOTE: If a feature is failing in the INI file, then the following error message is displayed
"Importing ini file is failing for some features. For more information, check the log." The
error code is 146.
Example
C:\>cctk -i <c:cctk> /filename.ini
NOTE: For the systems running Ubuntu Core operating system, copy the file at var/
snap/dcc/current, and run dcc.cctk -i /var/snap/dcc/current/<filename>.ini
-l or --logfile
Table 7. -l or --logfile
Attribute Details Description
Valid Argument <filename>
Logs the command line output to a time-stamped file. The utility either appends the information to an
existing log file or creates a new file. The log file contains the same information as the standard output,
plus timestamp information. Users should use this option instead of redirection for task diagnosis.
Example
C:\>cctk -l <c:cctk> /logfile
