get

set

Description:	Set AppLogic grid configuration parameter
Syntax:	grid set param=val
Arguments:	param=val	Grid configuration parameter to set. The following parameters may be set: recovery_password=- - Prompt for user's password. If the standard input is not a terminal device, it will not print a prompt and expect only one copy of the password on 'stdin' (this can be used for batch operations, to set the password from a file). If not empty, the password must be between 8 and 24 characters in length.
Examples:	grid set recovery_password=-	Set recovery GUI password
Notes:	The grid controller must be rebooted in order for the password change to take effect.
	Supported in AppLogic 2.7.5+

reboot

Description:	Reboot AppLogic grid
Syntax:	grid reboot --controller [--force] grid reboot [--kill] [--force] [--restartapps] [reason=text]
Arguments:	--controller	Reboot the controller VM only. If this option is not specified, the entire grid is rebooted. Supported in AppLogic 2.7.5+.
	--kill	Skip trying to stop any applications that have been started when rebooting the grid. This option is supported in AppLogic 2.8.x+.
	--force	Do not prompt for user confirmation. Prior to AppLogic 2.8.x, this option had the same functionality as the --kill option.
	--restartapps	Restart all running applications upon next reboot of the grid. The applications are not stopped prior to reboot if this option is specified.
	reason=text	Free-form text specifying the reason for the grid reboot.
Examples:	grid reboot	Stop all applications and reboot the AppLogic grid
	grid reboot --kill	reboot the AppLogic grid without stopping running applications.
	grid reboot --controller	reboot the AppLogic grid controller VM.
Notes:	When rebooting the AppLogic controller VM, ensure that all applications have been saved in the AppLogic Editor and all running operations have completed.
	If there are applications running on the grid, they should be stopped prior to executing this command or this command should be executed with --kill option due to the possibility that a server may crash under high I/O load when stopping all applications in parallel. SCR 1323

power_cycle

Description:	Power cycle AppLogic grid
Syntax:	grid power_cycle [--kill] [--force] [--restartapps] [reason=text]
Arguments:	--kill	Skip trying to stop any applications that have been started. This option is supported in AppLogic 2.8.x+.
	--force	Do not prompt for user confirmation. Prior to AppLogic 2.8.x, this option had the same functionality as the --kill option.
	--restartapps	Restart all running applications upon next reboot of the grid. The applications are not stopped prior to power cycle if this option is specified.
	reason=text	Free-form text specifying the reason for the grid power cycle.
Examples:	grid power_cycle	Stop all applications and power cycle the AppLogic grid
	grid power_cycle --kill	Power cycle the AppLogic grid without stopping running applications.
Notes:	If there are applications running on the grid, they should be stopped prior to executing this command or this command should be executed with --kill option due to the possibility that a server may crash under high I/O load when stopping all applications in parallel. SCR 1323

shutdown

Description:	Shutdown AppLogic grid
Syntax:	grid shutdown [--kill] [--force]
Arguments:	--kill	Skip trying to stop any applications that have been started. This option is supported in AppLogic 2.8.x+.
	--force	Do not prompt for user confirmation. Prior to AppLogic 2.8.x, this option had the same functionality as the --kill option.
Examples:	grid shutdown	Shutdown all started applications and shutdown the AppLogic grid
	grid shutdown --kill	Shutdown the AppLogic grid without stopping any running applications.
Notes:	If there are applications running on the grid, they should be stopped prior to executing this command or this command should be executed with --kill option due to the possibility that a server may crash under high I/O load when stopping all applications in parallel SCR 1323
	When this command is executed, the grid servers are powered off and the grid will not come back online without user intervention.
