Command-Line Tools
If you’re an administrator who prefers to work in a command-line environment,
you can do so with Mac OS X Server.
From the Terminal application in Mac OS X, you can use the built-in UNIX shells
(sh, csh, tsh, zsh, bash) to use tools for installing and setting up server software and
for conguring and monitoring services. You can also submit commands from a non-
Mac OS X computer.
Mac OS X Server has a command-line version of Server Admin called serveradmin that
you use to administer the services that Server Admin manages. It is run on the server
to be administered over a remote connection.
When managing remote servers, you conduct secure administration by working in a
Secure Shell (SSH) session.
Server Status Widget
The Server Status widget lets you monitor Mac OS X Server v10.6 activity from any
computer with Mac OS X v10.6 or Mac OS X Server v10.6. Server Status shows you
graphs of processor activity, network load, and disk usage.
For information about using the Server Status widget, see Getting Started or Server
