nimol_lslpp Command

Purpose

Runs the lslpp command on a NIMOL client.

Syntax

nimol_lslpp -c client_hostname [ -m remote_access_method ] [-f lslpp_flags ] [ -D ]

Description

The nimol_lslpp command executes the lslpp command on a configured NIMOL client using the specified remote access method, which is /usr/bin/rsh by default. When configuring a NIMOL server using the nimol_config command, the user can set the default remote access method to something other than /usr/bin/rsh, such as /usr/bin/ssh. A machine is considered a NIMOL client when it has been installed using the nimol_install command without the -n flag.

The command runs the lslpp command with -L -c as the default flags. The lslpp command flags can be specified with the -f flag.

Flags

-c client_hostname	Specifies the NIMOL client hostname on which to execute the lslpp command.
-D	Runs the command in debug mode.
-f lslpp_flags	Specifies the lslpp command flags to pass to the lslpp command.
-m remote_access_method	Specifies the remote access method to use to run the lslpp command. The default is /usr/bin/rsh. Another option is /usr/bin/ssh.

Exit Status

Item	Description

Security

To run the nimol_lslpp command on a NIMOL client, the client must provide remote access permissions to the NIMOL server. Using /usr/bin/ssh is a more secure remote access method than /usr/bin/rsh.

Examples

To run the lslpp command on client myclient, with the default flags -Lc, type:
```
nimol_lslpp -c myclient
```
To run the lslpp command on client myclient, with the flags -i bos.rte, type:
```
nimol_lslpp -c myclient -f "-i bos.rte"
```
To run the lslpp command on client myclient, using ssh as the remote access method, type:
```
nimol_lslpp -c myclient -m ssh
```
