osgi

delegates the command line to the Apache Felix Gogo remote shell for the execution of OSGi shell commands

Synopsis

asadmin [asadmin-options] osgi [--help]
[--session session]
[--session-id session-id]
[--instance instance]
[command_line]

Description

The osgi subcommand delegates the command line to the Apache Felix Gogo remote shell for the execution of OSGi shell commands. Commands are executed by the remote shell and results are returned by the asadmin utility. The remote shell is provided with \{product---name} and used to administer and inspect the OSGi runtime.

Multiple command-line sessions can be created. Use the --session and --session-id options to run commands in a specific command-line session. If no session is specified, a new session is created to run commands and closed when execution completes.

A related subcommand is the osgi-shell subcommand, which enables you to run multiple commands from a file or run commands interactively. For more information about the osgi-shell subcommand, see the osgi-shell(1) help page.

This subcommand is supported in remote mode only.
