Managing using command line tools

Why and when to perform this task

There are several command line tools that you can use to start, stop, and monitor WebSphere server processes and nodes. These tools only work on local servers and nodes. They cannot operate on a remote server or node. To administer a remote server, you can use the wsadmin scripting program connected to the deployment manager for the cell in which the target server or node is configured. See Deploying and managing using scripting for more information about using the wsadmin scripting program. You can also use the V5 administrative console which runs in the deployment manager for the cell. For more information about using the administrative console, see Deploying and managing with the GUI.

To manage using command line tools, perform the following steps:

Steps for this task

  1. Open a system command prompt.
  2. Change to the bin directory.
  3. Run the command.
