new_dz_command

Use the new_dz_command command to create a new UNIX command object for the current zone and sets the new command as the currently selected command in memory. The new command has no field values set. The new_dz_command does not save the new command to Active Directory. To save the UNIX command, you must first set at least the “command” field using set_dzc_field, then use save_dz_command. If you don’t save a new UNIX command, it will disappear when you select a new command or when the ADEdit session ends.

You can only use the new_dz_command command if the currently selected zone is a classic4 or hierarchical zone. The command does not work in other types of zones.
