Command Prompts
In order to make it easy for new users to test the
rich functionality provided by Nirvana, the Nirvana
installation includes compiled versions of all the sample
applications as well as native launchers that wrap them
and use environment variables to minimise the input
required by the user. A command prompt is therefore
a console/shell with some environment variables already
set.
Client Command Prompt
The client command prompt is a console/shell with environment
variables set by a client environment script. Examples
of such environment variables include RNAME, PATH, CLASSPATH,
Certificate stores etc. On Win32 platforms a client
command prompt is opened using the shortcut in the start
menu while on Unix platforms it is opened by execuring
the appropriate softlink in the links folder under the
install directory:
[marvin@my-Channels.com]$ cd /home/my-Channels/Nirvana/links/Client/Nirvana
[marvin@my-Channels.com]$ . ./Command_Prompt
You are now ready to run sample client applications
and sample administration (AdminAPI) applications with
the minimum possible input.
Server Command Prompt
The server command prompt is a console/shell with environment
variables set by a server environment script. Examples
of such environment variables include PATH, CLASSPATH,
server certificate stores etc. On Win32 platforms a
server command prompt is opened using the shortcut in
the start menu while on Unix platforms it is opened
by executing the appropriate softlink in the links folder
under the install directory:
[marvin@my-Channels.com]$ cd /home/my-Channels/Nirvana/links/Server/Nirvana
[marvin@my-Channels.com]$ . ./Command_Prompt
You are now ready to run server side administration
commands such as start a realm server, stop a realm
server etc.
