NAME
       wbemexec - submit a CIM operation request to a CIM Server

SYNOPSIS
       wbemexec [ -h hostname ] [ -p portnumber ] [ -v httpversion ]
		[ -m httpmethod ] [ -t timeout ] [ -u username ]
		[ -w password ] [ -s ] [ --help ] [ --version ]
		[ inputfilepath ]

DESCRIPTION
       The wbemexec command provides a command line interface to a CIM Server.
       The input to the command consists of a CIM request encoded in XML.  The
       request	is  submitted  to  the	CIM Server for execution.  If the HTTP
       response from the CIM Server contains a status code of  200  (OK),  the
       result  returned	 to stdout is the CIM response encoded in XML.	Other‐
       wise, the result returned to stdout is the HTTP response.   Some	 types
       of  invalid  XML	 requests  (e.g.  missing PROTOCOLVERSION attribute or
       missing NAME attribute) are detected by	wbemexec,  and	result	in  an
       error  message from wbemexec.  Other invalid XML requests (e.g. invalid
       CIMVERSION attribute value or missing XML version), are detected by the
       CIM  Server,  and  result in an HTTP response, containing a non-Success
       status code, such as 501 (Not Implemented) or 400 (Bad Request).

       By default, the request is sent as an HTTP/1.1 request, using the  HTTP
       M-POST method, and wbemexec waits 20000 milliseconds (20 seconds), then
       times out if a response hasn't  been  received.	 Input	is  read  from
       stdin, if no input file is specified.

       By  default,  the  operation  is	 executed on the local host.  wbemexec
       first attempts to connect to the CIM Server on the default port for the
       wbem-http  service,  and	 if that fails, another attempt is made on the
       default port for the wbem-https service.

   Options
       wbemexec recognizes the following options:

	      -h hostname    Connect to the CIM Server on the specified	 host.
			     If	 this  option  is not specified, wbemexec con‐
			     nects to the local host.

	      --help	     Display command usage information.

	      -m httpmethod  Use the specified HTTP method  for	 the  request.
			     The method must be "POST" or "M-POST".

	      -p portnumber  Connect  to  the CIM Server on the specified port
			     number.  If this option is	 not  specified,  wbe‐
			     mexec  connects  to  the  default	port  for  the
			     wbem-http service, or if the -s option is	speci‐
			     fied, to the default port for the wbem-https ser‐
			     vice.

	      -s	     Enable the use of the SSL	protocol  between  and
			     the  CIM  server.	The -s option should be speci‐
			     fied if the CIM Server  on	 the  specified	 host‐
			     name/portnumber  expects clients to connect using
			     HTTPS.

	      -t timeout     Wait the  specified  number  of  milliseconds  on
			     sending  a	 request,  before  timing  out	if  no
			     response has been received.   The	timeout	 value
			     must be an integer value greater than 0.

	      -u username    Connect  as  the specified R username .  If user‐
			     name is not specified, the current logged in user
			     is	 used  for  authentication.   This  option  is
			     ignored if neither	 hostname  nor	portnumber  is
			     specified.

	      -v httpversion Use  the  specified HTTP version for the request.
			     The version must be "1.0" or "1.1".  The 1.0 ver‐
			     sion may not be specified if the M-POST method is
			     specified.

	      --version	     Display CIM Server version.

	      -w password    Authenticate the connection using	the  specified
			     password  .   This	 option	 is ignored if neither
			     hostname nor portnumber is specified.  WARNING: A
			     password  should  not be specified on the command
			     line on a multi-user system,  since  command-line
			     options  are typically world-readable for a short
			     window of time.   If  the	remote	host  requests
			     authentication  and this option is not specified,
			     wbemexec will prompt for the password.  (See cim‐
			     config (1) for information on configuring the CIM
			     Server.)

EXIT STATUS
       When an error occurs, an explanatory error message is written to stderr
       and  an	appropriate  value is returned.	 The following exit values are
       returned:

	      0	     Success
	      1	     Error

USAGE NOTE
       The wbemexec command requires that the CIM Server is running.

EXAMPLES
       Submit an XML request contained in the file cimrequest.xml to  the  CIM
       Server running on the local host on the default port:

	      wbemexec cimrequest.xml

       Submit  an  XML request contained in the file cimrequest.xml to the CIM
       Server running on the host hpserver on port 49152, using	 the  username
       guest and password guest for authentication:

	      wbemexec -h hpserver -p 49152 -u guest -w guest cimrequest.xml
