Modes of CLI

wadm supports invocation in 3 different modes. They are:

• Standalone mode — In this mode, you invoke wadm from a command shell, specifying the desired command, options and operands. When the command finishes execution, CLI exits back to the shell. This mode can support both interactive and non-interactive execution of commands. Interactive execution, which is the default, will prompt for the password if password is not already specified in the password file (passed through the --password-file option). Non-interactive execution will result in an error if --password-file option is not specified.

  For example,

  • Non-interactive Standalone mode

    bash-3.00# cat /passwd wadm_password=mypassword bash-3.00# /opt/sun7ur2websvr/bin/wadm list-configs --user=admin --port=8800 --no-ssl --password-file=/passwd instance1

  • Interactive Standalone mode

    bash-3.00# /opt/sun7ur2websvr/bin/wadm list-configs --user=admin --port=8800 --no-ssl Please enter admin-user-password> instance1

• Shell Mode — In this mode, you invoke wadm from a command shell with no command. wadm prompts the user for a command. After the command is executed, it will return back to the shell. This shell can be exited by typing exit or quit command. Interactive and non-interactive executions are applicable to this mode. For example,

  bash-3.00# /opt/sun7ur2websvr/bin/wadm --user=admin --port=8800 --host=serverhost --no-ssl Please enter admin-user-password> Connected to serverhost:8800 Sun Java System Web Server 7.0U2 B12/09/2007 07:28 wadm> list-configs instance1 wadm> list-jvm-options --config=instance1 -Djava.security.auth.login.config=login.conf -Xms128m -Xmx256m wadm> list-instances --config=instance1 sunhost1.sun.com wadm> quit bash#

• File Mode — In this mode, you can add a list of commands in a file and pass the file as an argument to wadm. For example,

  wadm -user=admin -host=serverhost --password-file=admin.pwd --port=8989 -commands-file=/space/scripts/admscr

The figure below depicts the syntax for invoking wadm commands.

With the wadm CLI, you can perform all of tasks that you can do with the Administration Console.
