Add or Edit Canned Script

Script Name

Create a unique name to help identify this script. This name should help users locate the script they wish to run.

Description

Add a brief description to summarize the purpose of this script. This description is displayed on the prompt to confirm that the user wants to run the selected script.

Command Sequence

Write the command sequence. Scripts must be written in command line format, similar to writing a batch file or shell script. Note that only the last line of the script may be interactive; you cannot prompt for input in the middle of the script.

Within the script, reference an associated resource file using "%RESOURCE_FILE%", making sure to include the quotation marks. Please note that the command sequence is case sensitive.

You can access the resource file's temporary directory using %RESOURCE_DIR%. When you run a script with an associated resource file, that file will be temporarily uploaded to the customer's computer.

• If you click YES, the updated resource file is uploaded and used for all applicable canned scripts.
• If you click NO, the file is not uploaded.
