To Display Help Information for the asadmin Utility or a Subcommand

Enterprise Server provides help information about the syntax, purpose, and options of the asadmin utility and its subcommands. This help information is written in the style of UNIX® platform man pages. This help information is also available in Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server v3 Reference Manual.

1. If you are displaying help information for a remote subcommand, ensure that the server is running.

   Remote subcommands require a running server.

2. Specify the subcommand of interest as the operand of the help subcommand.

   If you run the help subcommand without an operand, help information for the asadmin utility is displayed.
