List of commands

The IBM® Tivoli® Monitoring Agent Builder contains a command-line interface (CLI) that you can use to generate the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Agent without launching the Eclipse graphical user interface (GUI). You can generate the agent as part of a build, for example:

On Windows systems, you can use a batch file in the following directory to access the CLI:

install_location\agenttoolkit.bat

On UNIX and Linux systems, you can use a script in the following directory to access the CLI:

install_location/agenttoolkit.sh
