How do I use wsadmin commands to administer applications and their environments?

The wsadmin tool is a command-line interface that provides the ability to automate common tasks using Jacl or Jython scripts. The AdminTask, AdminApp, AdminControl, AdminConfig, and Help objects provide many commands and options that allow you to write and customize scripts to administer your applications, environment, Web services, resources, and security configurations. Follow these shortcuts to get started quickly with popular tasks.

When you visit a task in the information center, look for the IBM Suggests feature at the bottom of the page. Use it to find available tutorials, demonstrations, presentations, developerWorks articles, Redbooks, support documents, and more.
