Command-Line Interface

Portal Server software provides a command-line interface (CLI). The CLI allows portal administrators to do the following:

• Perform administrative tasks by typing commands using the keyboard

• Automate regularly recurring management tasks by incorporating them into scripts

The CLI offers a number of psadmin subcommands for managing portal tasks. These include subcommands for:

• Managing multiple portals and portal instances

• Deploying portal and portlet WAR files

• Managing the search server

• Managing Secure Remote Access server

• Managing monitoring

• Managing portal logging

Most subcommands commands are written specifically to mimic functions in the browser interface. For management functions that have no special commands, administrators use standard UNIX commands.

For information about all psadmin subcommands, see the Sun Java System Portal Server 7 Command-Line Reference.
