Provides interactive access to the Apache Felix Gogo remote shell for the execution of OSGi shell commands.
Synopsis
asadmin [asadmin-options] osgi-shell [--help]
[--file file]
[--printprompt={false|true}]
[--encoding encoding]Description
The osgi-shell subcommand provides interactive access to the Apache Felix Gogo remote shell for the execution of OSGi shell commands. The
remote shell is provided with Payara Server and used to administer and inspect the OSGi runtime.
OSGi shell commands are executed on the server and results are printed on the client. Because the shell is interactive, no operands are accepted. Scripting is supported, which means that multiple commands can be executed in sequence from a text file.
A related subcommand is the osgi subcommand, which passes a single command to the remote shell for execution. Results are returned by the
asadmin utility. For more information about the osgi subcommand, see the osgi help page.
This subcommand is supported in local mode only. Unlike other local subcommands, however, the domain administration server (DAS) and the server instance whose shell is being accessed must be running.
