Using the commandline interface

This section is for PlanetLab administrators who have access to PFC. All of the features of the GUI are available via the command line, through the direct invocation of Silktools. Silktools is comprehensively documented, therefore, this document will only discuss the most common use cases and defer the rest to the upstream documentation. This section assumes a working PFC installation with all of its components, e.g. pdelta, silktools and the silk configuration. For instructions on how to set up this environment, please consult Section  or Section .
