Lotus Domino Administrator 8 Help - Entering commands at the console at the server

REFERENCE

Entering commands at the console at the server
You can enter commands directly at the console at a server. If a server is running under a Controller, you must use a remote console instead.

Note Most server commands support the arguments "-?" and "/?" to display online help. For example, you could enter one of these to obtain help for the server command Tell Amgr:

Tell Amgr -?

Tell Amgr /?

1. Double-click the IBM® Lotus® Domino™ server icon if the server isn't running, or switch to the console.

Note

On a UNIX® server, log into the server account, change to the server's IBM® Lotus® Notes® directory, and enter

server

2. Press ENTER to display the console prompt (>).

3. Enter a server command.

If a command parameter contains a space, enclose it in quotation marks -- for example:

Pull "Acme Server"

Tip To save time and space at the command line, enter the abbreviation for the server command. You can also press the Up arrow to display a command that you previously entered.

4. (Optional) Use these key combinations, as necessary:

Press CTRL+Q or PAUSE to stop the screen display and suspend access to the server and events in process.
Press CTRL+R to resume display and access to the server.
Press CTRL+R (or ENTER) to restore a command line. For example, you might restore a command line if an on-screen event splits it or if it disappears while you're typing.
