You can use this tool to shut down, deep ping, or get the process ID of a Data Server or Display Server on a specified host and port. A successful deep ping verifies that the Server is responding to requests. You can also use this tool to generate a dashboard deployment package, and to sign .jar files as part of deployment-package generation.

When you invoke this tool, you can specify the host and port of the Server you want to manage. For the port, specify the port that was specified with the -p or --port option when the desired Server was started. If the -p or --port option was not specified, you do not need to supply this option. It defaults to the default management port (28888).

All this tool’s options are described in the next section.
