Many are taken care of by the initialization script, but it doesn't hurt to repeat them. The commands should, of course, be modified to be appropriate for your specific setup. In this document we will demonstrate the use of most tasks from the command line. In many cases parameters where the default values are acceptable are not included in the command list, which can be done in practice as well. If the GUI interface is being used then simply set the parameters there.
Command lines can often be quite long with a variety of paramters.
To avoid considerable typing when creating command scripts a feature of the GUI interface can be assitance. When invoking a task through the GUI a copy of the full command appears in the dialog box, from where it can then be cut and pasted. There are a couple of useful features of the command-line interface that users should be aware of. If the dialog parameter is included in the command line, the task GUI will pop up with all parameters in the command line preset. If the manpage parameter is included in the command line, the task documentation will pop up in a Netscape window.
