This section describes the commands recognized. Syntax is:
command command literal_parameter command subcommand
<parameter> command [<optional_parameter>] command a | b
Many commands take subcommands, parameters, or both, which
may in turn be optional or required. In general, if a required
subcommand or parameter is omitted, an error message will summarize
the available subcommands or required parameters. (Giving a '?' in
place of the subcommand will also generate the message. This method
is useful when the command word alone is a valid command.) If a
command takes an optional value parameter, issuing the command
without the parameter generally displays the current value of the
variable. (Exceptions to this rule are noted in the individual
command descriptions.)
Two or more parameters separated by vertical bar(s) '|' denote a
choice between the specified values. When one of the choices is
default, that choice will be in UPPERCASE. Optional parameters
are shown enclosed in [brackets]. Parameters enclosed in <angle
brackets> should be replaced with actual values or strings. The
generic notation for number values is , and for string
values, it is . For example, the notation <hostname>
means the actual host or gateway callsign or id. Numerical defaults
are explicitly stated as such, e.g., "Default = 7."
All commands and many subcommands may be abbreviated. You only
need type enough of a command's name to distinguish it from others
that begin with the same series of letters. Parameters, however,
must be typed in full.
All commands are printed in bold (if you have the version
of this document that supports fancy formatting), and most commands
have an example following the textual description of the commands.
The following section contains the comprehensive set of commands
for JNOS.
<CR>;
Entering a carriage return (empty line) while in command mode
puts you in converse mode with the current session. If there is
no current session, JNOS remains in command mode and reissues the
'jnos>' prompt.
!;
An alias for the shell command.
#;
Commands starting with the hash mark (#) are ignored. The hash
mark is mainly useful for comments in the autoexec.nos.
?;
Same as the 'help' command.
