Web cert about to expire on Skyline Collector

[jpit]

VMware Skyline Appliance - 3.1.0.0 Build 19303936

Have a self signed cert that is about to expire.

Unable to refresh the cert using the VMware KB article located here
https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Skyline-Health-Diagnostics/services/Skyline-Health-Diagnostics/GUI...

I am SSH'd into the appliance using the root account

After running the "shd-config refreshcert" command I get the following error
-bash: shd-config: command not found

Am i missing a step in this somewhere?

It the shd-config command even valid?
