Entering system commands
Some of the procedures that follow include instructions for entering commands at the system command prompt. The instructions tell you to enter the command from the "Domino program directory" or "Notes program directory," depending on whether you are performing the procedure on an IBM® Lotus® Domino™ server or an IBM® Lotus® Notes® workstation. Before entering commands, make sure you understand the following definitions of these terms as they apply to your operating system.

Microsoft Windows operating systems

On a Domino server, the Domino program directory is c:\Program Files\IBM\Lotus\Domino, unless you installed the program files to a different location. On a Notes workstation, the Notes program directory is c:\Program Files\IBM\Lotus\notes, unless you installed the program files to a different location.

UNIX operating systems

For Domino on a UNIX® server, the actual location of the server program files is different from the directory you use for entering commands. Always use the following path for entering commands:


The "server'" portion of the path is a script that initializes a UNIX shell so that Domino programs can run on UNIX.

The default location of the lotus directory is /opt/ibm/lotus, but you can change it to any location, for example, /local/lotus or /usr/lotus.
