Command-line interface

The command-line is the Linux default user interface. It is used to maintain the operating system. Therefore also cherryEPG is using this way of performing jobs.

The command-line tool for maintenance is cherryTool. By various parameters and switches you can define the behavior of the tool. You can always run cherryTool -hto get a short command-line switch overview.
