5.3. Interactive CLI Commands

Logs into a JBoss ON server with the specified username and password.

Optionally, the hostname (or IP address) and port can be specified. The hostname defaults to localhost, and the port defaults to 7080.

It is also possible to specify a transport protocol, which sets whether to use SSL to communicate with the server. If the transport is not given, then the CLI evaluates the transport based on the port. A port ending in 443 automatically uses SSL, while all other ports use standard connections. The only reason to explicitly set a transport method is if the server is listening over SSL over a port which does not end in 443.

login username password [host] [port]

The login command can be used in a module script or with the rhq-cli.sh --f option.

Logs off of the JBoss ON server without existing from the CLI.

logout

The logout command can be used in a module script or with the rhq-cli.sh --f option.

Exits the CLI.

quit

This only works when the CLI is running interactively. In a script, use java.lang.System.exit.

Records user input commands to a file. This is very useful if you are running the CLI interactively to test a new script that will later be run non-interactively in the CLI or as an alert server-side script.

record [-b | -e] [-a] -f filename

Executes a statement or a script with the specified file name. A statement wraps onto multiple lines using backslashes.
