Administering SNAplus2
Using the Command-Line Administration Program
Using the Command-Line
Administration Program
Command-line configuration enables you to change all SNAplus2
configuration parameters. You can use it to configure any of the
resources that are available through the Motif administration program,
and can set or change configuration parameters that are not exposed in
the Motif program. However, this administration method typically
requires that you supply more information than is required for Motif
administration. In addition, you must make sure that the information
you provide is valid and consistent with existing resource definitions.
(The Motif administration program is recommended because it ensures
the data you enter is consistent. In addition, it can infer many
configuration values based on menu and dialog choices, and fill in values
based on available definitions.)
Most administration commands are used with the snapadmin
command-line administration program. You can issue snapadmin
commands in the following form:
snapadmin command, parameter1=value1, parameter2=value2, ....
{subrecord_name1, sub_param1=sub_value1, sub_param2=sub_value2...}
You can get help for snapadmin command-line administration by using
any of the following commands:
• snapadmin -h provides basic help for command-line administration
and usage information for command-line help.
• snapadmin -h -d provides a list of commands that can be supplied
to the snapadmin program.
• snapadmin -h commandprovides help for the named command.
• snapadmin -h -d commandprovides detailed help for the named
command, including a list of the configuration parameters that can
be specified with the command.
Some commands can be issued from SNAplus2 clients, provided the
command includes the -n option to specify a server name. Such a
command has the same effect as if it were issued at the named server.
