Overview

Maintenance is carried out from a platform user login application command line, either by SSH or from the VM console command line. The password is configured during installation and can be changed using system password. On initial login, the system displays a banner indicating the general system health.

A local home directory is available to the user and must be managed by the user with standard Unix commands:

• ls

• cp

• mv

• rm

• less

• grep

The user is not permitted to view directories or run commands outside the home directory.

During system maintenance, a specially configured rbash shell enables a set of commands to be executed.

The exact list of commands users can run is determined by the user’s specific privileges and the specific setup of the machine. Different installed applications can add their own additional commands. The list of commands are displayed on login and can be redisplayed by typing the help command.
