I always used external shell scripts to achieve this goal. You can, for 
example, also create
http pages to display server and client log files and ADSM status information 
by external shell
scripts using dsmadmc. Only make sure these scripts cannot be read by all 
because they contain
the admin password.

Sorry, don't know. I always used the ADSM server documentation to get the 
syntax of the ADSM
commands, and built the external scripts with ksh and awk.

Hope this helps,
