The Rhino SLEE command console (rhino-console) is a command-line shell which supports both interactive and batch-file commands to manage and configure the Rhino SLEE.

Tip See also the instructions to configure, log into, select a management command from, and configure failover for the command console.

Below are details on the usage of the command-line console, the available commands, the Java archives required to run the command line console, and the security configuration.

rhino-console usage

The command console takes the following arguments:

Usage:

   rhino-console <options> <command> <parameters>

Valid options:

   -? or --help   - Display this message
   -h <host>      - Rhino host
   -p <port>      - Rhino port
   -u <username>  - Username
   -w <password>  - Password, or "-" to prompt

   -D             - Display connection debugging messages
   -r <timeout>   - Initial reconnection retry period (in seconds). May be 0
                    to indicate that the client should reconnect forever.
   -n <namespace> - Set the initial active namespace
If no command is specified, client will start in interactive mode.
The help command can be run without connecting to Rhino.

If you don’t specify a command argument, the client starts in interactive mode. If you do give rhino-console a command argument, it runs in non-interactive mode. (./rhino-console install is the equivalent of entering install in the interactive command shell.)

In interactive mode, the client reports alarms when they occur and includes the SLEE state and alarm count in the prompt. It only reports the SLEE state if SLEE of any event routing node is not RUNNING. This new behaviour can be disabled by setting the system property "rhino.console.disable-listeners" to true in $CLIENT_HOME/etc/rhino-client-common.

Tip
  • The command console features command-line completion: if you press the tab key, the console guesses the rest of a partially input command or command argument. It also records the history of the commands entered in interactive mode. The up and down arrow keys cycle through the history, and the history command prints a list of recent commands.

  • You can specify the help command argument without a connection to a Rhino node.

Java archives

The classes required to run the command console are packaged as a set of Java libraries. They include:

File/directory Description
rhino-console.jar

Command-line client implementation

rhino-remote.jar
