Method of command input

Enter commands from the standard input, using a shell. You may use any shell you like.

Command format

The following shows an example of the command input format. % indicates the prompt of the shell.

[Figure]

Follow the instructions for individual command syntax explained hereafter. Enter all commands in alphanumeric characters according to the standard UNIX format. Blank spaces may not be required between the option and the operand. For details, see the format of each command.

Command name
The file name of the command you want to execute.

Option
An option is an alphabetical character starting with a hyphen (-). An error occurs if multiple hyphens or a hyphen alone is entered for an option. The option may be specified with a character string called an operand to clarify the attribute of options.
When specifying options, note the following:
  • Specify the options in the order they appear in the Format section in each command description.
  • If the same option is specified more than once, the command may result in an error or the last specified option may become valid, depending on the characteristics of the command.
  • When entering a blank in the character string of the operand, enclose the character string in double quotations (").
    The following shows an example of option -d with operands 1 and 2.
    %Command name -d "1 2"

Specifying options

The following explains how to specify a parameter such as a host name for an option of a command.

host-name or -mmanaging-host-name
Specify the name of a host of a managing server or a relay system as the host-name or -mmanaging-host-name parameter. Specify the host name parameter with 1 to 255 alphanumeric characters, hyphens, underscores, or periods.

-hhost-file-name
Specify the name of a host file as the -hhost-file-name parameter.
If the managing server you are connected to is running under Windows or UNIX, a host name defined in the server will be the host file name parameter. If the host name is more than 20 characters, however, its IP address is the host file name parameter.
Specify the host file name parameter with 1 to 20 alphanumeric characters, hyphens, or underscores.
