Is there a list of commands that can be issued for the gateway that I can execute in a shell? Mainly looking for stuff like changing ports, starting/stopping, etc.

Thanks!

Yes, it is the command-line version of the GCU, known as gwcmd. You can run gwcmd -i in a terminal to see all available commands, or you can see the commands [here](https://support.inductiveautomation.com/usermanuals/ignition/gateway_control_utility2.htm). gwcmd is located in the Ignition installation folder, but should be available from anywhere if the Ignition installation folder is in your system path.
