ADMINISTERING
A server can run under a Java-based Controller; this starts the server when you start the Controller.
About this task
You can use remote consoles in the Domino® Administrator or Web Administrator to send commands to a server that runs under a Controller. You can send Controller commands and shell (operating system) commands, as well as Domino server commands. There is also a Java-based remote console available called the Domino Console that you can use to connect to a Controller.
To send a shell command to a Controller from a remote console, use the prefix $, for example:
$Dir c:\tmp
To send a Controller command, use the prefix #, for example:
#Start Domino
If you are sending several shell or Controller commands, you can change to Shell or Controller command mode in a remote console by entering the appropriate prefix in the Command box and pressing enter. Then you do not have to specify the prefix each time you send a command. To exit the specified command mode, enter the prefix again.
For example, to enter the Controller command mode, enter # in the Command box. When you are done sending Controller commands, enter # again to exit Controller command mode.
Table 1. Available Controller commands
#Disable user1,user2
#Enable user1,user2
Change takes effect at midnight or when you restart the Server Controller.
