Executing CLI Commands

The command-line interface commands start with uce_cli. To get help, type the man uce_cli command.

To execute the command in the command line, type uce_cli -<command> [-<parameter> <value>] [...] [-<flag>] [...]

To execute the command in a script, type the commands in a shell script, just as you would embed other Linux commands.
