Answer:

No, You cannot use Unix commands to access StarTeam. To interact with the StarTeam server you will need to use the StarTeam client or alternatively you can use any of the following methods: Stcmd.exe or the StarTeam API SDK (Java or Java-Script)

1. Install the StarTeam SDK and implement Java code (can then use batch file to execute) or implement Java script functions.

The SDK is downloadable from the URL belowhttp://www.borland.com/downloads/download_starteam.html

2. Use the Stcmd.exe functionality. This is also available on Unix machine.

See the StarTeam User"s Guide for more information on the options available: http://info.borland.com/techpubs/starteam/2005R2/en/admin.pdf

3. Use the StarTeam CMD Line generator tool. This is an application developed by our customer base; this application is a GUI that allows automatic cmd line code generation.

Note: This may not run on Unix platform but could be used on windows machine to generate the stcmd.exe code you need to run on Unix.
