| You can run some `gfsh` commands directly from your operating system's prompt by preceding the command with `gfsh`. This can be useful for Unix shell or Windows batch scripting. For example: |
| |
| ``` pre |
| $ gfsh start locator --name=locator2 --port=10335 |
| ``` |
| |
| To see which gfsh commands are available directly on the prompt: |
| |
| ``` pre |
| $ gfsh help |
| ``` |
| |
| ## Running Multiple gfsh Commands on the OS Command Line |
| |
| To run multiple commands directly on the command line, |
| use the `-e` option followed by the `gfsh` command within |
| quote marks. For example: |
| |
| ``` pre |
| prompt>gfsh -e "start locator --name=locator1" -e "start server --name=server1" |
| |
| prompt>gfsh -e "start jconsole" |
| |
| prompt>gfsh -e "connect --locator=remotehost[10334]" -e "rebalance" -e "gc" |
| |
| ``` |
