cr_cli: Single-Line Command Mode

The single-line command mode accepts one command at a time as input. Each command submitted must be complete; the user is not interactively prompted for the next input parameter. Operating in this mode, the Command-Line Interface Client does not maintain a command history.

Here is an example of a CLI command executed with the cr_cli tool. This command adds a host of type prodserver to the host database. The user running this command, rbarnes, supplies his password to authenticate himself to the Master Server.

cr_cli –cmd hdb.h.add -u barnes -p bar123 -name webb1  -desc `web server 1' –tID prodserver  

cr_cli commands can be stored in a file and be called from a shell script. This is useful for repetitive tasks such as running execution plans, comparisons or populating hosts.
