cli_bstr(1) — Commands

Name

cli_bstr − Invokes the BASEstar Open CLI.

Syntax

cli_bstr [-c] [-e "command1" "command2"..."command10"] [-f command_file] [-i startup_file] [-v]

Description

The cli_bstr command allows you to invoke the BASEstar Open CLI. You can execute CLI commands either interactively, or in batch mode by specifying the name of a command file from the command interpreter prompt.

Options

-c

This option allows you to check the syntax and semantics of a CLI command file without executing the file.

-e

This option allows you to execute up to ten CLI commands without leaving the platform-dependent command interpreter. After executing the specified commands, the command interpreter redisplays the CLI prompt. Enclose each CLI command between double quotes, and make sure that the commands are separated by at least one blank.

-f command_file

Pathname of a CLI command file that BASEstar Open executes at the shell prompt.

-i startup_file

An optional startup command file that you can request the CLI to execute. If you fail to specify the -i option, BASEstar Open does not execute a startup command file unless the following CLI command file exists in your home directory:

•UNIX:

•OpenVMS/Windows NT:

cli_init.ini

-v

This option displays additional information on execution of the command.
