Administering
This documentation provides information about the administration tools for managing and monitoring IBM Domino® servers and databases.
- Administration tools
  Topics in this section describe the tools you can use to administer a Domino® server.
  - The Domino® Administrator
    The Domino® Administrator is the administration client for Notes® and Domino. You can use the Domino Administrator to perform most administration tasks.
  - The Web Administrator
    If you have a browser and want to manage and view settings for a Domino® server, you can use the Domino Web Administrator to perform most of the tasks that are available through the Domino Administrator. This section includes the following information about the Domino Web Administrator:
  - The Server Controller and the Domino® Console
    The Server Controller is a Java-based program that controls a Domino® server. Starting the Server Controller starts the Domino server it controls. When a server runs under a Server Controller, you can send operating system commands, Controller commands, and Domino server commands to the Server Controller.
  - The Administration Process
    The Administration Process is a program that automates many routine administrative tasks.
  - Domino® server commands
    This section describes the Domino® server commands that are available, as well as methods of issuing those commands.
    - List of server commands and syntax
      This list briefly describes the Domino® server commands that are available.
    - Using a console to send commands to a server
      Use a server console to see server events as they happen and to send commands to a server. Server events are also logged to a server's log file (LOG.NSF). You can view the log file from the Server > Analysis tab in the Domino® Administrator.
    - Entering commands at the console at the server
      You can enter commands in the server console.
    - Sending Controller and shell commands from a remote console
      A server can run under a Java-based Controller; this starts the server when you start the Controller.
    - Sending commands from the Domino® Administrator console
      A Domino® server command can contain up to 255 characters. If an argument for a command contains a space, enclose it in quotation marks. For example: PULL "Renovations Server".
    - Sending commands from a Web Administrator console
      There are two remote consoles available from the Domino® Web Administrator: the Quick Console and the Live Console.
    - Using the Domino® Character Console to access the server console
      The Domino® Character Console (cconsole program) provides a way to access the server console from the command line. This feature is available only for UNIX™ platforms.
  - Domino® server tasks
    The information in this topic describes Domino® server tasks and their defaults in the NOTES.INI file.
  - IBM® i server commands
    You can use IBM® i server commands to manage Domino® with IBM i.
- Monitoring
  This section describes how to use the tools and features that help you monitor a Domino® system.
- Managing servers
  Manage Domino® servers by performing any of these tasks.
- Managing databases
  Topics in this section describe how to set up and manage Domino® databases.

Sending commands from a Web Administrator console

There are two remote consoles available from the Domino® Web Administrator: the Quick Console and the Live Console.

About this task

Use the Live Console to send commands to a Web server running under a Controller. Using the Live Console you can send Controller and operating system (shell) commands as well as Domino® server commands.

Use the Quick Console to send commands to a Web server that does not run under a Controller. Or use it if you are unable to install or use the Java™ Plug-in in your browser.

A Domino® command can contain up to 255 characters.

If an argument for a command contains a space, enclose it in quotation marks. For example: PULL "Acme Server."

To send a command from a Web Administrator remote console:

Procedure

Make sure you have the administrator access to the server required for the command you are sending.
From the Web Administrator, connect to the server.
Click Server > Status.
Select Quick Console or Live Console.
Do one of the following to add the command to the Command box:
- Enter the command with any arguments directly in the Command box.
- (Live Console only) Click Commands, select the command from the list, and click OK. Add any arguments as necessary.
Click Send.
