Appendix B Command Line Interface GuardianOS includes a command line interface (SnapCLI) accessible through SSH. Using the CLI, users can access information about most of the SnapServer configuration parameters and perform configuration and maintenance functions without using the GuardianOS web interface or SSM. Note Some administrative tasks must still be performed using the Administration Tool. The CLI is intended as a convenient way to perform some functions; it is not intended as an alternative to using the GUI. Topics in Command Line Interface • SnapCLI Syntax • SnapCLI Commands • Scripts in SnapCLI SnapCLI Syntax SnapCLI command syntax uses three parameters: COMMANDS, ARGUMENTS, and OPTIONS. To generate commands in SnapCLI, use the following syntax: COMMAND [ARGUMENT] [OPTIONS] where COMMAND is the name of one of the SnapCLI commands, ARGUMENT is an action available for that command, and OPTIONS are additional parameters for the command. Once logged into the CLI, there are several ways of displaying information about available parameters. Type ? {command} help tab {command} tab To... see an overview of the CLI, with a list of available commands and a description of command syntax. see a description of that particular command's function and a list of options available for the command. finish the command you have started to type (i.e., tab-complete). list any arguments and/or options available for that command.
