+# System Terminal Monitor
+
+## Purpose
+
+System Terminal Monitor exposes terminal-style server interaction.
+
+Use it with care because terminal-like endpoints can reveal or change operational state.
+
+## What You Can Do Here
+
+- System Terminal Monitor exposes terminal-style server interaction.
+- Send exact parameter names and encoded values rather than natural-language approximations.
+- Inspect the response format before using the endpoint in a larger tool chain.
+
+## Page Architecture
+
+Machine/API pages are compact endpoints. Their architecture is request-parameter driven: callers provide the smallest needed set of arguments and consume a direct response rather than a guided administration workflow.
+
+## Correct Use
+
+Call the endpoint as a protocol surface. Use exact parameter names and encoded values, authenticate when required, and inspect the response before relying on it. Avoid sending browser-only submit buttons unless the backend explicitly requires the action key.
+
+## Access And Safety
+
+Administrator access is required. YaCy protects `_p` pages as administration pages.
+
+## Automation And API
+
+No matching Java servlet was found for this template.
+
+No request parameters are needed for normal use of this page.
+
+## What To Expect
+
+Expect a compact service response rather than a teaching interface. The response may be XML, RSS, JSON-like text, plain text, or a small HTML template depending on the endpoint.
