Want to make one clarification about the manpage example.
The example is correct with the operand:
\\-Dunixlocation=/root/example:-Dvariable=\$HOME:-Dwindowslocation=d\\:\\\sun\\\appserver:-Doption1=-value1
The reason why you need to escape "-Dunix..." is so that asadmin will
not parse it as an option.
An alternative way is to use "--" to separate the options and operand.
HTH,
Jane
