Command shell

The command shell is the Linux recommended user interface. By typing commands and appropriate arguments we can achieve specific tasks related to the system or any other application. cherryEPG also offers this way of performing jobs.

(When changing user from an other user use the su - cherryepg command!)

The shell tool for performing jobs is cherryTool. In combination with various parameters and switches you can define the behavior of the tool. You can always run cherryTool -h to get an overview of all possible switches.
