I haven't read the R62 CLI docs; hopefully they've improved. The R55
CLI docs are pretty poor - incomplete, they don't specify when certain
flags must be combined with others, no examples, etc. Compared to the
standard Linux man pages, they're quite poor.

There's actually good CLI documentation for each SPLAT version.
It can be reached by browsing to www.checkpoint.com -> Downloads -> Product
Documentation.
For example, for NGX R62 the following CLI guides are available.
R62 SecurePlatform & SecurePlatform Pro User Guide
R62 SecurePlatform Pro & Advanced Routing Suite Command Line Interface Guide
R62 Command Line Interface Guide
SPLAT is basically a hardened and stripped down version of Red Hat Linux... so
most of the
*basic* / essential commands that work on linux should work on SPLAT (ls, cp,
pwd, ifconfig etc').
However it's a good idea to know useful SPLAT specific commands such as:
snapshot.
The snapshot command makes a complete backup (OS and Check Point packages) in
the directory
/var/CPsnapshot/snapshots.
Whenever you want to revert back to a previous snapshot just run the command:
revert.
You may even transfer the snapshot from one machine and revert it to another to
create a lab or testing environment. Unfortunately the hardware on both
machines needs to be identical for this to work... there's no hardware
independant snapshot command (yet..).
Hope this helps.
Adam.

The commands are mostly, but not entirely, consistent with
corresponding RedHat Linux 7 (I think it was 7) commands. For
example, ifconfig has been extended with the --save option, since
you're prevented from editing any rc-files directly unless you go to a
proper bash shell.
For R55, there is documentation of the SPLAT CLI commands, but it's
really more of a set of vague hints as to where you should look for
real documentation. I mean, if you're used to Linux man pages, it's
just sad...
