1. You may want to look at the getpars utility, located in /opt/fox/bin/tools. It can list the parameters you are looking for. You can get information on how to use getpars in the getpars.man page. You can even use wildcards for the CP name. Unlike the iccapi (iccprt and iccdrvr.tsk), getpars works even if the control configurator is open. 2. I do not think that the iccdrvr.tsk will allow wildcards for opening a CP, but you can build a simple unix script to automatically call the iccprt utility for each CP. Hope this helps!

I can do it using the iccdrvr.tsk but I have over 20 overloaded cp's on a single node and 3 similar nodes. Is there a way to use a wild card in iccdrvr.tsk for the cp name?
