    - 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

Entering commands at the console at the server

You can enter commands in the server console.

About this task

If a server is running under a Controller, you must use a remote console.

Most server commands support the arguments -? and /? to display online help. For example, you could enter one of these to obtain help for the server command Tell Amgr:

Tell Amgr -?

Tell Amgr /?

Procedure

Double-click the Domino® server icon if the server isn't running, or switch to the console.

Note: On a UNIX™ server, log into the server account, change to the server's Notes® directory, and enter server.
Press ENTER to display the console prompt (>).
Enter a server command.
If a command parameter contains a space, enclose it in quotation marks (" "). For example:
```
Pull "Renovations Server"
```
Tip: To save time and space at the command line, enter the abbreviation for the server command. You can also press the Up arrow to display a command that you previously entered.
Optional: Use these key combinations, as necessary:
- Press CTRL+Q or PAUSE to stop the screen display and suspend access to the server and events in process.
- Press CTRL+R to resume display and access to the server.
- Press CTRL+R (or ENTER) to restore a command line. For example, you might restore a command line if an on-screen event splits it or if it disappears while you're typing.
