COMMAND

createhostset

DESCRIPTION

The createhostset command defines a new set of hosts and provides the option of

assigning one or more existing hosts to that set. The command also allows the addition of

hosts to an existing set by use of the

-add option.

SYNTAX

createhostset [options] <setname> [<host | pattern>...]

AUTHORITY

Super, Edit

OPTIONS

-add

Specifies that the hosts listed should be added to an existing set. At least one host must be

specified.

-comment <comment>

Specifies any comment or additional information for the set. The comment can be up to

255 characters long. Unprintable characters are not allowed.

-domain <domain>

Create the host set in the specified domain. For an empty set the default is to create it in

the current domain, or no domain if the current domain is not set. A host set must be in the

same domain as its members; if hosts are specified as part of the creation then the set will

be created in their domain. The

-domain option should still be used to specify which

domain to use for the set when the hosts are members of domain sets. A domain cannot be

specified when adding a host to an existing set with the

-add option.

SPECIFIERS

Name of the host set to create/add to.

<host | pattern>...

Optional list of hosts or glob-style patterns matching hosts that are to be included in the

host set. If no

<host> is specified a host set with no hosts is created.
