Executing a Command

Commands must include the DNS name or IPv4 address of the everRun system. If you specify incorrect syntax, a message displays the correct syntax.

Create a shortcut to avoid the need to prefix all commands with the hostname, username, and password.

To create a shortcut:

Windows

The avcli command executes the batch file avcli.bat in %Program Files%\everRun. You can add login credentials to this file:

  1. Open avcli.bat with a text editor.
  2. Search for this string:
-jar "%AVCLI_HOME%\avcli.jar"
  1. Append login info. For example:
-jar "%AVCLI_HOME%\avcli.jar" –u admin –p admin –H everrun

If you manage several everRun systems with the same username and password, specify the domain names of the individual systems in the command line:

$ avcli –H everrun1 node-info node0

or

$ avcli –H everrun2 node-info node0
Linux

Create an alias in your login .cshrc file. For example:

alias avcli='/usr/bin/avcli -u admin -p admin –H everrun'

In the example, avcli is the alias name, admin/admin is the username/password, and everRun is the everRun system’s domain name. You can then use this alias to log on and specify commands. For example, you could specify unit-info as follows:

$ avcli unit-info
