Sending requests to the GUI server using the ctl utility

This procedure describes how to send requests to the GUI server using the ctl utility.

To send requests to the GUI server using the ctl utility:

• Type the following command:

  [em] ctl -U <em dbo user> -P <em dbo pass> -C GUI_Server

  {-M <computerName> | -name <logicalName> | -all}

  {-reg |-cmd stop | -cmd life_check |-cmd do_measure | -cmd get_measure |-cmdstr "<commandString>"}

  [-timeout <<responseTimeout> (seconds)>] [-diagon]

  NOTE: You can use a password file name <-pf> instead of using -U and -P.

EXAMPLE: To manually refresh version management system parameters without restarting the GUI server, issue the following command:

ctl -u <user> -p <password> -C GUI_Server -name <GSRName> -cmdstr REFRESH_HISTORY
