configuration updates, then bring up the servers again. If you call this command to

set information from a Telnet session, you will be disconnected.

You must have admin privileges to use this command.

java

This commands allows you to execute a Java class (.tini) file. This will launch

another process to begin executing the file. If you do not specify to run the program

in the background (i.e. give a '&' at the end of the command) then you will not be

returned a slush prompt until your program finishes executing. See the 'kill'

command for information on how to stop a running process.

If you are running from a Telnet session and run a program in the background, you

will see the output from your program as well as the slush prompts from your current

Telnet session. However, because of serial port sharing issues, if you run a program

in the background from a Serial Session prompt, you will not see the output of your

program. Either run your program in the foreground on the serial server, or redirect

the output of that program to a file.
