Abstract
In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for supporting detachable administration commands for use with a cloud computing environment. In accordance with an embodiment, a job manager service provides an application program interface which receives administrative commands to be processed within the cloud environment as jobs, wherein each instance of the administrative commands is associated with a unique job identifier. A command line interface allows a user to issue a command to be processed within the cloud environment as a job, detach the command line interface from the job being processed, and subsequently reattach the command line interface to the job being processed by indicating the job's unique job identifier. For example, several independent parallel commands can be executed together from one console or one script, and users can check on, or wait for a result of some task.
