9 Getting Started
This chapter explains what you need to do to get started with the Java Management Extensions (JMX) examples. It provides instructions that apply to all examples described in the following chapters.
Platform Information
All variable assignments and commands in the examples in this tutorial are defined using UNIX Korn shell syntax. If you are running a shell other than the Korn shell on a Linux or macOS platform, you must adapt these commands to your preferred shell environment.
If you are running a Microsoft Windows operating environment, in most cases,
adapting commands will simply involve replacing forward slashes (/
)
with backward slashes (\
) and replacing colons (:
)
with semi-colons (;
) in the paths. A specific Microsoft Windows command
is given only when it differs significantly from the Linux or macOS command
provided.
