2. Commands
The mzsh
can be used both as a system administration tool and as a system client tool.
When using mzsh
without running the platform, mzsh
enables you to startup or shutdown the system and perform other tasks that are not dependent on having a Platform running.
The Platform server process is started by entering the following in the shell:
MZ> startup platform
The following text will appear:
Starting platform...done.
If mzsh
is entered while the platform is running, mzsh
will become a pico instance, with the ability to manage the system processes. For further information about Pico Clients, see the Desktop User's Guide.
Using commands downloaded from Platform requires that the user is logged in. For further information about the Platform, see the System Administrator's Guide. If mzsh
is started in interactive mode, the system will prompt that username and password be entered:
$ mzsh Username: mzadmin Password: ******
or:
$ mzsh mzadmin/<password> startup platform
For example, if the platform has already been started, the following command:
$ mzsh startup platform
Will generate the following message:
Platform is already running.
You can still use mzsh
in either interactive or non-interactive mode as described earlier.
Note!
Some commands only available when the Platform is running.
