Running a command definition

After creating a command definition, you can run that command definition on a selected resource.

About this task
As an alternative to using the Command Definition task in the IBM® Systems Director Web interface, you also can specify the command definition as an action in an event automation plan.
Note: Using the Command Automation task to launch interactive programs, for example notepad.exe, is not supported.

To run a command definition, complete the following steps:

  1. In the IBM Systems Director Web interface navigation area, click Navigate Resources.
  2. Navigate to the resource on which you want to run the command definition.
  3. Right-click the resource and select Automation > Command Automation. The Command Automation page is displayed.
  4. Select the command definition that you want to run.
  5. Click Run.
