Managing Additional Settings from the Command Line Interface

Modifying Additional Settings

Use the following steps to modify (add, edit, or delete) the additional settings for one or more clients.

  3. Run the qlogin command to log on to the CommServe computer.

  4. Execute the following command:

    qoperation execute -af additional_settings.xml
