Running gfsh Commands on the OS Command Line

This topic explains that you can run some VMware Tanzu GemFire command-line interface (gfsh) commands directly from your operating system’s prompt by preceding the command with gfsh. Use this for Unix shell or Windows batch scripting. For example:

$ gfsh start locator --name=locator2 --port=10335

To see which gfsh commands are available directly on the prompt:

$ gfsh help

Running Multiple gfsh Commands on the OS Command Line

To run multiple commands directly on the command line, use the -e option followed by the gfsh command within quote marks. For example:

prompt>gfsh -e "start locator --name=locator1" -e "start server --name=server1"

prompt>gfsh -e "start jconsole"

prompt>gfsh -e "connect --locator=remotehost[10334]" -e "rebalance" -e "gc"
