facilitate remote server instances. It is the responsibility of the node agent to create, start, stop,
and delete a server instance. Use the command line interface (CLI) commands to set up node
agents.
Command-line Interface (asadmin Utility)
The asadmin utility is a command-line interface for the Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server. Use
the asadmin utility and the commands associated with it to perform the same set of
administrative tasks offered by the Admin Console. The default installation root directory on
Solaris is /opt/SUNWappserver.
To start the asadmin utility, go to the as-install/bin directory and enter:
$ ./asadmin
To list the commands available within asadmin:
asadmin> help
It is also possible to issue an asadmin command at the shell’s command prompt:
$ asadmin help
To view a command’s syntax and examples, type help followed by the command name. For
example:
asadmin> help create-jdbc-resource
The asadmin help information for a given command displays the UNIX man page of the
command. These man pages are also available in HTML and PDF format in the
