Maximo command line reference

I think that one of the things that are missing in the Maximo documentation is a command line reference. That's why I decided to go through the Maximo directories and search for commands that can be run the system prompt.

The following list should be intended as a work in progress. Many commands are not documented at all and I was not able to find any useful resource over the internet. If you have any additional information please leave a comment to this post and I will update this page.
