To use zconf, run the following command:

```bash
$ZEUSHOME/zxtm/bin/zconf
```

Note that if $ZEUSHOME is not set correctly that the zconf utility will not function correctly. This command line utility has a built-in help system. When you run the program with no arguments, you should see the following output (this example taken from the Virtual Traffic Manager virtual appliance):

```bash
