Diagnostic Commands

When iWay Service Manager (iSM) is running in a command shell, you can control it by typing commands in addition to using the console. These commands are designed to assist you in resolving issues.

Several of the key commands are listed and described in the following table. To see a full list of available commands, type Help at the Command Prompt on Windows after using the iwsrv command to start iSM.
