The IAS Server Command-line Utility creates, runs, and manages crawls.
The IAS Server Command-line Utility is a script named ias-cmd.sh (for Linux/UNIX systems) and ias-cmd.bat (for Windows) that you run from a command prompt. The scripts are in the bin directory.

ias-cmd task-name [options]
The task-name argument is the task to be performed by the utility, such as the createCrawls task. The task options vary, depending on the task. However, these options can be used with any task:
You first specify the host and port settings for the Endeca IAS Service as part of the installation wizard. That host runs the IAS Server, the Component Instance Manager, and all Record Store instances. The installation wizard then writes the host (com.endeca.eidi.ias.server.host) and port (com.endeca.eidi.ias.server.port) settings as properties in commandline.properties. All of the IAS command-line utilities use these settings as default values if you omit the -h and -p flags when executing any tasks.
Although not required, it is recommended that you set the path of the bin directory in your system's PATH environment variable. This allows you to run the IAS Server Command-line Utility script from any location.
