Appendix B Command Line Interface GuardianOS includes a command line interface (SnapCLI) accessible through SSH. Using the CLI, users can access information about some of the Snap Server configuration parameters and perform certain configuration and maintenance functions without using the GuardianOS web interface or SSM. Note Several 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.
