Command line operations

Plixer Endpoint Analytics supports command line operations for certain appliance-level administration actions and functions, even after the system has been fully deployed and configured.

To access the command line, start a console or SSH session to the management interface (ens160) of the Plixer Endpoint Analytics appliance.

As a security measure, attempts to log in as the root user will be blocked by the appliance. To issue commands requiring root privileges, initiate the SSH session as the beacon user before elevating to root.

Hint

The password for the beacon appliance user account can be changed using the passwd beacon command.
