Command line options
You can use the command line to control the Launcher and to configure all of the options that are available through the graphical Management Console and Launcher Administration tools. The command line supports automation (for example, by using a batch file or shell script) and unattended installation (for example, in a Hypervisor environment).
In addition to the Microsoft Windows net pause and net
continue commands, the Launcher supports the following commands:
| Windows | UNIX |
|---|---|
| launcher.bat | launcher.sh |
| launcheradmin.bat | launcheradmin.sh |
| mgmtconsole.bat | mgmtconsole.sh |
On Microsoft Windows systems, the Launcher runs as a service. On UNIX and z/OS® systems, the Launcher runs as a daemon. The command line topics use the term Launcher service generically to refer to either environment.
