Example: 
momctl -h node1 -C
Cycle pbs_mom on node1
   
-d — Diagnose
Format: { <INTEGER> | <JOBID> }
Default: 0
Description: Diagnose mom(s)

See the Diagnose Detail table below for more information.
Example: 
momctl -h node1 -d 2
Print level 2 and lower diagnose information for the MOM on node1
   
-f — Host File
Format: <FILE>
Default: ---
Description: A file contain only comma or whitespace (space, tab, or new line) delimited hostnames
