I need all application servers hostnames output -- like sm51 -- available at the command line and not within SAP. I tried to use "gwmon," but it shows all gateway connections and not just application servers. What do you suggest?

The application server hostnames use the following naming convention:

HOSTNAME_SAPSYSTEMNAME_SAPSYSTEM

If you have access to the operating system, you should be able to find the application server hostnames from the SAP instance profiles.

The variables SAPSYSTEMNAME and SAPSYSTEM are defined in the instance profile.
The HOSTNAME is defined by SAPLOCALHOST or SAPGLOBALHOST which is in the instance or in the start profile. If neither is defined, it is the hostname of the system.
