CLI
Amazon CLI

Example 1: To get the status of a specific command

The following list-commands example retrieves and displays the status of the specified command.

aws ssm list-commands \
    --command-id "0831e1a8-a1ac-4257-a1fd-c831bEXAMPLE"

Example 2: To get the status of commands requested after a specific date

The following list-commands example retrieves the details of commands requested after the specified date.

aws ssm list-commands \
    --filter "key=InvokedAfter,value=2020-02-01T00:00:00Z"

Example 3: To list all commands requested in an Amazon account

The following list-commands example lists all commands requested by users in the current Amazon account and Region.
