Administration tools
Topics in this section describe the tools you can use to administer a Domino® server.
Domino® server commands
This section describes the Domino® server commands that are available, as well as methods of issuing those commands.
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.
Capturing server command output in a file
Some server commands display information you might want to capture in a file.

Administering
This documentation provides information about the administration tools for managing and monitoring 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 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.
      - Capturing server command output in a file
        Some server commands display information you might want to capture in a file.
    - 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".
    - 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.
- Managing users
  The Administration Process helps you manage users by automating many of the associated administrative tasks. For example, if you rename a user, the Administration Process automates changing the name throughout databases in the Notes® domain by generating and carrying out a series of requests, which are posted in the Administration Requests database.
- Monitoring servers
  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.

Capturing server command output in a file

Some server commands display information you might want to capture in a file.

Procedure

Type the server command and on the same line, type a space and then the following:

Show Tasks > TASKS.OUT

Note: Enter a space after the server command but not after the redirection symbol (>). For example, the following command writes the output of the Show Tasks command to the file TASKS.OUT in the Notes® directory:

Note: To store output in a file outside the data directory, specify the complete path to the file.
