Using The Server Administrator Command Line Interface

The Server Administrator command line interface (CLI) allows users to perform essential systems management tasks

from the operating system command prompt of a monitored system.

The CLI allows a user with a very well-defined task in mind to rapidly retrieve information about the system. Using CLI

commands, for example, administrators can write batch programs or scripts to execute at specific times. When these

programs execute, they can capture reports on components of interest, such as fan RPMs. With additional scripting, the

CLI can be used to capture data during periods of high system usage to compare with the same measurements at times

of low system usage. Command results can be routed to a file for later analysis. The reports can help administrators to

gain information that can be used to adjust usage patterns, to justify purchasing new system resources, or to focus on

the health of a problem component.

For complete instructions on the functionality and use of the CLI, see the
