CLI scripts

Because the CLI uses Telnet connections, you can connect to the probe from anywhere by creating a desktop tool to open a Telnet connection, send a command, and then close the connection. This means that simple scripts can be set up to allow users to acknowledge selected events from the Netcool/OMNIbus Event List.
