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 /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. 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 are only available when the Platform is running.
