Command Syntax
 

To execute most commands, you need to specify the location of the target, then enter
the command. You can execute commands individually, or you can combine them on
the same command line.
 

1. To execute commands individually:
a. Navigate to the namespace using the CD command.
For example:
cd /SP/services/http
 

b. Enter the verb, target, and value.
For example:
set port=80


2. To combine commands, use the form verb path/target=value.
For example:
set /SP/services/http port=80
 

The following display shows both methods:
-> cd /SP/services/http - Navigate to namespace
/SP/services/http
-> set port=80
Set 'port' to '80' - Enter the verb, target, and value
-> set /SP/services/http port=80 - Combine path and show command
Set 'port' to '80'
->
