=== Description

The `osgi` subcommand delegates the command line to the Apache Felix
Gogo remote shell for the execution of OSGi shell commands. Commands are
executed by the remote shell and results are returned by the `asadmin`
utility. The remote shell is provided with {productName} and used to
administer and inspect the OSGi runtime.

Multiple command-line sessions can be created. Use the `--session` and
`--session-id` options to run commands in a specific command-line
session. If no session is specified, a new session is created to run
commands and closed when execution completes.

A related subcommand is the `osgi-shell` subcommand, which enables you
to run multiple commands from a file or run commands interactively. For
more information about the `osgi-shell` subcommand, see the
link:osgi-shell.html#osgi-shell-1[`osgi-shell`(1)] help page.

This subcommand is supported in remote mode only.
