websphere and the cmd line

[QAteste]

Is there a way to list the application servers that websphere is managing from the command line?

Is there a way to get there status, ie if they are running, from the command line?

Is there a way to stop/start them from the command line?

TIA

You could use TCL language to write scripts which administrate WebSphere App Server. Invoke WSCP mode of WebSphere and execute commands on the prompt.

eg.

/WebSphere/AppServer/bin/wscp.sh
wscp> ApplicationServer list

The above command would list application servers available on your node. There are many more commands which could be executed from this mode. Create file with .tcl extension containing these commands, helps you to execute a set of commands in one shot.

If you are in a unix environment, you could try this little script that basically just parses the ps command to find what WebSphere related processes are running. Try it and see if you like it:

#!/usr/bin/ksh

echo "owner pid   ppid  process"
ps -ef | grep java | awk '
/com.ibm.ejs/ {
a=substr($0,index($0,"com.ibm.ejs.sm")+15)
if (index(a,"EJBServerProcess")>0) {
 b=substr(a,index(a,"EJBServerProcess")+17)
 c=substr(b,0,index(b,":")-1)
 a="server.ManagedServer " c
}
else {
 b=substr(a,0,index(a," ")-1)
 a=b
}
printf("%5s %d %d %s\n",$1,$2,$3,a );}'

your mileage may vary, see dealer for details - you may need to adjust the values in the substr to return the correct process names.

Good luck. Einstein47
