Command reference

The commands provide the ability to configure and manage your nodes and node members.

Running commands

Use the following syntax to run commands for B2B Advanced Communications for both Windows and Linux from the install_dir\Members\bin directory:

You can also run any command from your environment path by using the same syntax.

Logging command information

Logging information for commands is kept in a directory separate from the logging information for the operations of the members of the node. For more information, see Command logging.

When you run some of the commands, the configuration of the system is recorded before and after you run the command. This information is saved in the install_dir\Members\logs directory. For more information, see the Usage notes section for each command.

Remember: The configuration information includes user information, but this information is intended mainly for troubleshooting and not security auditing.
