# How to use tbx cli tools remote program

The tbx\_cli\_tools\_remote program provides for direct control of Toolpack applications. This enables you to monitor calls in progress and the system status, to manage the toolpack database, etc., without having to go through the [Web Portal](/tmedia-documentation/other-pages/other/web-portal.md). You should be careful as it directly affects the applications and not the Toolpack configuration database. This tool is mostly used for debugging purposes.

### Where to find it

The binary is located in the \[InstallDir]/\[PackageVersion]/bin/release/\[Platform]/tbx\_cli\_tools\_remote

Example:

```
/lib/tb/toolpack/pkg/3.2.61.39/bin/release/x86_64-linux64/tbx_cli_tools_remote
```

You will see a list of Toolpack Applications.

You can use the arrow keys to select the needed application.

![List of Toolack programs available to tbx\_cli\_tools\_remote application](https://docs.telcobridges.com/w/images/d/d8/Tbx_cli_tools_remote_view_1.PNG)

For example you can select "toolpack\_engine\_1". This will bring you to a new page.

In the above screenshot, you can see some information about the system and logs. The logs are the same that you can see in the toolpack\_engine log files.

### Using tbx\_cli\_tools\_remote

* Select the application to connect from the list. You can select with the arrows, or directly with the letter associated with the application.
* You can get the list of possible commands by pressing '?'
* You can press 'Tab' to change application mode. Commands and display will change when pressing 'Tab'
* You can change the trace level by pressing capital 'T'
* You can put a checkpoint by pressing star (\*) and + or - to move between checkpoints
* To disconnect from the applicaiton, press Escape twice. You can then type 'q' to quit the tbx\_cli\_tools\_remote application.

***Note: Be careful not to quit the application you are connected to (like toolpack\_engine) as it will terminate the active application***

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://prosbcdocs.telcobridges.com/tmedia-documentation/other-pages/other/how-to-use-tbx-cli-tools-remote-program.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
