Specifying an Input File for SRVCTL Command Parameters

You can specify command parameters in a file rather than directly on the command line. Using a command parameters input file is useful in the following situations:

  • You want to run a command with very long parameter values or a command with numerous parameters

  • You want to bypass shell processing of certain special characters

To specify a command parameters input file, use the -file parameter with a value that is the ___location of the command parameters file. SRVCTL processes the command parameters from the command parameters file instead of from the command line.
