We have a requirement to get the aerospike cluster details via a shell script, so trying to find a way to run “summary” command outside of “Admin\>” prompt i.e. without running asadm and to enter “Admin\>” prompt.

Below is working but hard to script

```auto
aerospike@xxxx [/home/aerospike]
==>asadm
Seed: [('127.0.0.1', 3000, 'xxxx')]
Config_file: /home/aerospike/.aerospike/astools.conf, /etc/aerospike/astools.conf
Aerospike Interactive Shell, version 0.3.3

Enter Password:
Found 3 nodes
Online:  

Admin> summary

```

=======

Is there any way we can run it out side asadm like asinfo -v “summary” ?

The summary command is implemented in asadm, so you will have to use asadm to run that particular command. That said are you familiar with the “`-e`” option?

You can invoke the “summary” command by issuing:

```auto
asadm -h "127.0.0.1" -e "summary"

```

(Note that the host address, “`-h "127.0.0.1`”, is only is only needed when Aerospike is running on a remote machine.)

Awesome, thanks for a quick response and the asadm with -e option works great.
