Karaf Commands

The Shell, Common and useful commands

The karaf shell is very similar to the bash shell. As such you can use:

• the tab key to autocomplete (double pressing will show all the options)
• up and down arrow keys to navigate in your history
• ctr+r combination will allow you to search the browsing history
• | or pipes will enable you to feed the output of one command to the input of another
• ctr+d ends current input. If pressed on the root shell it will end it and karaf with it (unless karaf is running as a system service).
• ctr+c ends current command.
