58 CHAPTER 5: LOGGING ON AND PERFORMING ADMINISTRATIVE TASKS
When you include a specific port or path number in the command,
that command focuses on that particular port or path. If the port or
path number is not included, the command provides information on
all ports or paths.
For more information on ports, paths, or commands, see Reference
for Enterprise OS Software.
b If the command is modified by a parameter, type the service name (if
necessary), the parameter name, and values.
The service part of the command focuses the action of the command
on a particular service of the system.
In some cases, you may not need to enter the service name. For
example, if a parameter is unique to a particular service, the service
need not be specified as part of the command. For more information,
see “Entering Service Names in Command Lines” on page 157.
The parameter is the object of the action of the command. If two or
more services have parameters of the same name, you must include
the service name in the syntax so the command can be executed
successfully.
The value part of the command specifies how you want the parameter
to be set. Values include numerics, strings, or addresses depending on
the parameter.
3 Press the Return key after typing the complete command.
The software includes online help for commands, services, parameters,
and syntax, and is described in “Getting Help” on page 160. The syntax
style that appears in the online help is the full form syntax; it contains full
names and visual cues for entering commands. You can also enter
commands using an abbreviated version of the syntax style.
For more information on syntax, see Appendix C.
