2.3. Management CLI

Procedure 2.1. Launch CLI in Linux or Microsoft Windows Server

• • Launch the CLI in Linux

    Run the EAP_HOME/bin/jboss-cli.sh file by entering the following at a command line:

    $ EAP_HOME/bin/jboss-cli.sh

  • Launch the CLI in Microsoft Windows Server

    Run the EAP_HOME\bin\jboss-cli.bat file by double-clicking it, or by entering the following at a command line:

    C:\>EAP_HOME\bin\jboss-cli.bat

Procedure 2.2. Connect to a Managed Server Instance

• Run the connect command

  From the Management CLI, enter the connect command:

  [disconnected /] connect
  Connected to domain controller at localhost:9999

  • Alternatively, to connect to a managed server when starting the Management CLI on a Linux system, use the --connect parameter:

    $ EAP_HOME/bin/jboss-cli.sh --connect

  • The --connect parameter can be used to specify the host and port of the server. To connect to the address 192.168.0.1 with the port value 9999 the following would apply:

    $ EAP_HOME/bin/jboss-cli.sh --connect --controller=192.168.0.1:9999

   From the Management CLI, enter the help -commands extended command:

   [standalone@localhost:9999 /] help --commands
