mzsh 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 shut down 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:

mzsh <username>/<password> 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 /wiki/spaces/MD82/pages/3768690.

Using commands downloaded from Platform requires that the user is logged in. For further information about the Platform, see the /wiki/spaces/MD82/pages/3778529.

$ mzsh mzadmin/<password> startup platform

For example, if the platform has already been started, the following command:

$ mzsh startup platform

This will generate the following message:

Platform is already running.

You can only use mzsh in non-interactive mode.
