Process Commands in Interactive Mode

Use the interactive mode to enter a series of commands. Enter dsmc on the command line and press Enter. When the tsm> command prompt appears, type the command name and press Enter. Do not precede each command with the executable program name, dsmc. Alternatively, you can enter dsmc loop on the command line to start a client command session in interactive mode. Loop is the default command for dsmc.

If a password is required, Tivoli Storage Manager prompts you when you enter the first command. Type your password and press Enter. You can also enter your password using the password option with the loop command, but your password is displayed. For example, if your password is secret, you would enter:

   dsmc loop -password=secret

To end an interactive session, enter quit at the prompt.
