Global Shell

The SA Global Shellenables you to manage servers by using a command-line interface. You can remotely perform the following tasks:

  • Complete routine maintenance tasks on managed servers.
  • Troubleshoot, identify, and remediate problems on managed servers.

The Global Shell consists of a file system and a command-line interface to that file system for managing servers in SA. The file system is known as the SA Global File System (OGFS). All object types in the OGFS (such as servers, customers, and facilities) are represented as directory structures in this file system.

The SA Global Shell also manages user permissions for accessing the file system, Windows Registry, and Windows Services objects on managed servers.
