Sending requests to the Global Conditions server using the ctl utility

This procedure describes how to send simple requests to the Global Conditions server using the ctl utility.

To send requests to the Global Conditions server using the ctl utility:

• Type the following command:

  [em] ctl -U <em dbo user> -P <em dbo pass> -C GCS {-M <computerName> | -all}

  {-reg |-cmd stop |-cmd life_check | -cmd change_file | -cmdstr "<commandString>"}]

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

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