perl gbscmd alertSit --server itm61 --situation --source [--data "Alert text"]


The following gbscmd shows the currently running situations on the given managed system. If you omit the --managedsystem switch, it will list the running situations on all managed systems.
perl gbscmd showsit --server itm61 --managedsystem Primary:viking:NT

The following command retrieves the information about all managed systems from EIB table using CT_Get call. It is similar to tacmd listsystems.
perl gbscmd ct_get --server itm61 --object ManagedSystem
