The functionality of most command-line tools is replaced by only two commands: dsadm and dsconf.
The following table shows commands used in Directory Server 5.2, and the corresponding commands for Directory Server 6, and 11g Release 1 (11.1.1). In version 11g Release 1 (11.1.1), the default path of these commands when installed from native packages is /opt/SUNWdsee7/bin. When installed from the zip installation, the default path is install-path/dsee7/bin.
