5.1  Overview

The WEBES SEA (wsea) CLI command provides a terminal-based interface for interacting with SEA by issuing commands from the command prompt.

5.1.1  Permissions

To run any of the commands described in this chapter, you must be a privileged user as described in Section 2.2.

5.1.2  Clusters

Even if SEA is installed on a cluster, commands only impact the local node. If you want to modify an entire cluster you must perform the desired operation on each node.

5.1.3  The CLI and the Director

The Director does not need to be running for every CLI command. The following CLI functions are possible without the Director:

Since these operations do not use the Director, messages that would otherwise be written to the Director's log files are included in the output for the command. The messages shown remain subject to the logging level. See Section 2.5 for more information on log messages.
