```
**Example 2: To get the status of commands requested after a specific date**  
The following `list-commands` example retrieves the details of commands requested after the specified date.  

```
aws ssm list-commands \
    --filter {{"key=InvokedAfter,value=2020-02-01T00:00:00Z"}}
```
**Example 3: To list all commands requested in an AWS account**
