Sending requests to the Configuration Agent using the ctl utility

This procedure describes how to send requests to the Configuration Agent using the ctl utility.

To send requests using the Configuration Agent from the ctl utility:

• Type the following command:

  ctl -U <emUser> -P <emPass> -C Config_Agent

  {-M <Computer_Name> | -all}

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

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

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