Using the QoreStor command line interface

QoreStor includes a custom shell implementation that simplifies command line access. As a superuser, you can use the command /opt/qorestor/bin/setup_qs_user <username> to configure an existing shell user with sudo privileges to run QoreStor CLI commands. You can access the QoreStor command line through a remote access program (such as PuTTY).

NOTE: The user created with /opt/qorestor/bin/setup_qs_user<username> cannot run any other commands with sudo, only QoreStor CLI commands.

To access the QoreStor command line

  1. Using a remote access program, connect to your QoreStor server.
  2. Log in using the superuser credentials or the credentials of the user configured for QoreStor CLI access using setup_qs_user.
  3. Enter the desired command at the prompt using one of the following command styles:
    • If logged in as the superuser, use the full path; for example, /opt/qorestor/bin/system -show or /opt/qorestor/bin/qs_help.
    • If logged in as a user configured by setup_qs_user, type system -show or help.

NOTE: Refer to the QoreStor Command Line Reference Guide for more information on the QoreStor CLI.
