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 le instead of displaying them to standard output. Saving command output to a le 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 le, 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 le.

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 command prompt, the Red Hat Enterprise Linux terminal, and the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server terminal. To display

command output with control over scrolling, type the CLI command and append the pipe symbol followed by more. For example, type:

omreport system summary | more

omreport servermodule summary | more

The multiscreen system summary displays the rst screen. When you want to see the next screen of command output, press the spacebar.
