The administrative command-line interface

You can use the administrative nevisLogRend command-line interface (CLI) to create and manage instances of nevisLogRend. The CLI consists of the following commands:

usage:
       nevislogrend                                          # get this usage
 
       nevislogrend [instance] start                         # start nevislogrend server
       nevislogrend [instance] stop                          # shutdown nevislogrend server
       nevislogrend [instance] restart                       # shutdown and start nevislogrend server
       nevislogrend [instance] status [swdep]                # show state of nevislogrend server
       nevislogrend [instance] log                           # access to server log file
       nevislogrend [instance] config [log|server]           # access to configurations
 
       nevislogrend inst                                     # list all instances
       nevislogrend inst create <name> [1]                   # create an instance
       nevislogrend inst remove <name>                       # remove an instance
       nevislogrend inst exists <name>                       # check for existing instance
       nevislogrend handover                                 # Create default config/log area, start server
       nevislogrend pkg                                      # Show installed package versions
       nevislogrend pkg activate <version>                   # Activate specified version of package
 
       [1] Optional: Specify 'help', 'try', 'force', a setup.properties file or a list of PARAM=value
           'nevislogrend inst create help' displays the possible setup parameters.

To run nevislogrend inst create with a setup.properties file, use a command sequence like the following:

# setup.properties contains PARAM=value on each line
cat setup.properties | xargs -x nevislogrend inst create test-instance

Instances
You can manage instances by adding an instance name between nevislogrend and the actual command:

nevislogrend instancename start

If no instance is explicitly specified, the command manages the default instance. Consult Deployment Types for information on the available deployment types.
