Question about the use of mgmt_cli tool

Hello, everybody.

I am starting to learn more about the use of the "mgmt_cli tool, but I have a question.

Currently I have created a list of objects from the CLI (The creation has been successful), but now I want to add this list of hosts to a group that I already have in my SMS.

What is the correct syntax to add my list of objects (I worked it by importing a .csv file) to the group that I already have created in the SMS?

In addition to this, I have another doubt, once you manage to create a list of objects by CLI, this .csv file that is imported to the SMS, can be deleted without problems?
Or should it stay in the SMS?

Thanks for your comments.

If the group already exists, you use 'set group' like so:

mgmt_cli ... set group name "GRP_Black_List" members.add.1 "IPMAL01" members.add.2 "IPMAL02" members.add.3 "IPMAL03" ...

As for the CSV, once the objects are built using mgmt_cli, they're in the management database. You can trash the CSV file.
