Manager Shell and Client Shell

AutoShell consists of two parts: the manager shell and the client shell. To enter commands or start the execution of scripts, work with the manager shell to perform local tasks on the manager system. The client shell is considered to be part of the AutoShell remote execution infrastructure. To enable remote execution and remote file system access, the client shell must be installed on all managed remote nodes. Other than that you do not need to use the client shell. The manager shell invokes the client shell for remote operations through secure SSH connections. The term AutoShell always refers to the manager shell for this reason.

Manager Shell

Lets you interactively enter commands, start scripts and perform local tasks on the manager computer.

Client Shell

Enables remote execution and remote file system access using Secure Shell (SSH) connections, and must be installed on all managed server remote nodes.

AutoShell can be invoked in interactive mode or scripting (batch) mode.
