It shows you some basic examples how to use eShell with Syntax, Prefix, Command path, Abbreviated forms,
Aliases, etc. This is basically a quick guide to eShell.
NOTE: If you want to display the first run screen in future, type in guide command.
NOTE: Commands are not case sensitive, you can use upper case (capital) or lower case letters and the command
will execute regardless.
4.9.1 Usage
Syntax
Commands must be formatted in the correct syntax to function and can be composed of a prefix, context,
arguments, options, etc. This is the general syntax used throughout the eShell:
[<prefix>] [<command path>] <command> [<arguments>]
Example (this activates document protection):
SET AV DOCUMENT STATUS ENABLED
SET - a prefix
AV DOCUMENT - path to a particular command, a context where this command belong
STATUS - the command itself
ENABLED - an argument for the command
Using HELP or ? with a command will display the syntax for that particular command. For example, CLEANLEVEL HELP
will show you the syntax for CLEANLEVEL command:
SYNTAX:
[get] | restore cleanlevel
set cleanlevel none | normal | strict
You may notice that [get] is in brackets. It designates that the prefix get is default for the cleanlevel command. This
means that when you execute cleanlevel without specifying any prefix, it will actually use the default prefix (in this
case get cleanlevel). Using commands without a prefix saves time when typing. Usually get is the default prefix for
most commands, but you need to be sure what the default prefix is for particular command and that it is exactly
what you want to execute.
NOTE: Commands are not case sensitive, you can use upper case (capital) or lower case letters and the command
will execute regardless.
Prefix / Operation
A prefix is an operation. The GET prefix will give you information about how a certain feature of ESET Mail Security is
configured or show you the status (such as GET AV STATUS will show you current protection status). The SET prefix
will configure functionality or change its status (SET AV STATUS ENABLED will activate protection).
