Working With CLI Command Results
Server Administrator Command Line Interface (CLI) users can use the
command output in various ways. This section explains how to save
command output to a file and how to select a format for the command results
that fits different objectives.
Output Options for Command Results
CLI command output displays to standard output on the system in a
command window, in an X-terminal, or on a screen, depending on the type of
the operating system.
You can redirect command results to a file instead of displaying them to
standard output. Saving command output to a file allows you to use the
command output for later analysis or comparison.
Whether you display command results to standard output or have the
command results written to a file, you can format the results. The format you
select determines the way the command output is displayed and the way the
command output is written to a file.
Controlling Command Output Display
Each operating system provides a means of controlling the way that
command results display to standard output. The following is a useful
command for ensuring that command results do not scroll by before you can
view them. The same command syntax works for the Microsoft Windows
