Introduction: Administrative commands

Command line tools are simple programs that you run from an operating system command-line prompt to perform specific tasks, as opposed to general purpose administration.

Use command-line tools to start and stop application servers, check server status, add or remove nodes, and complete similar administrative tasks.

See Reference > Command-line utilities in the documentation navigation area for the names and syntax of all the commands that are available with the product. A subset of these commands is particular to system administration purposes.
