NerveCenter Command Line Interface

You can use a command line interface (in a UNIX shell or a DOS Command Prompt window) to list, delete, and control nodes, alarms, polls, and masks. You can also connect to, display the status of, and disconnect from NerveCenter servers. You can issue the commands manually or from a script.

The following sections describe how to control NerveCenter from the command line using one of the following methods:

• Entering a single command in a shell or a DOS prompt
• Entering multiple commands in an interactive session
• Running a script that contains one or more commands

For information about specific commands, see the section Command line interface reference. The procedures in this appendix assume that you are in the NerveCenter bin directory or that your search path includes that directory. NerveCenter installation includes this directory in your search path by default.
