Appendix E of the Unicenter Service Desk Administrator Guide provides basic information about key command-line executables that ship with Service Desk.

Basic Information

• Located in the [servicedesk]/bin folder
• Basic syntax is available for most commands by typing "commandname -h" or just "commandname"
  NOTE: It is best to check a command's reference below to determine the best way to retrieve information. "-h" works with some commands. No parameters work with commands. Some commands attempt to perform actions even if -h is specified. Unfortunately, there appears to be no consistency with the command line syntax.
