Qualifiers

/cluster or -cluster

The CLUSTER qualifier requests that all members of the current cluster perform this operation.

/[no]confirm or -[no]confirm

CONFIRM requests that the user be prompted prior to any operation to verify that the selected job is the correct one.

/[no]log or -[no]log

The LOG qualifier causes each completed operation to issue a note to the user.

/net

This will forcibly close all server-server links and all remote servers to be removed from the known node and ping list.  A subsequent connection will cause any need links/entries to be recreated

/newlog or -newlog

The NEWLOG qualifier requests that the server process close the current log file and start a new one.
