Command-Line Scripts Quick Reference
NOTE In order to execute the Perl scripts, you must change to the directory
where the scripts are stored. Although it is possible to set
command-path and library-path variables to execute the scripts, it is
not recommended because you run the risk, particularly when you
have more than one server version installed, of disrupting the
correct execution of other utilities. There is also the risk of
compromising the security of the system.
(The same procedure also applies to the command-line utilities
discussed in chapter 7, “Command-Line Utilities.”)
