nscmd Command Line Tool

This is program written in Java using the NewServers™ Java Client SDK.  It enables making api calls from the command line.

Installation Instructions :

1. Install Java JRE
2. Setup a JAVA_HOME environment variable that points to the directory where Java was installed and add the bin directory to your PATH environment variable. (how do I do this)
3. Download the distribution nscmd.zip
4. Unzip the distribution, open a command window and go into the nscmd directory.
5. Edit nscmd.bat and replace “yourusername” and “yourpassword” with your username and password
6. execute “nscmd --help” to see available commands

For example, the addServer method is accessed by url like this:

https://noc.newservers.com/api/addServer?username=youruser&password=yourpass&config=small&os=centos5.4

Accomplish the same thing with nscmd from a command prompt with this:

nscmd addServer small centos5.4x64
