Starts a program on the system that generated
the event that triggered the event automation plan. Programs
can include command-line commands that can start or stop programs
on the system.
- Requirements
- This event action requires that the specified system have Common Agent installed.
- Result
- The program is started on the specified system.
- Example
- You
might use the dakill.exe program that is provided with IBM® Systems Director, located
in the support directory. You can use this program to stop processes
by providing the process name.
For example, if you want to stop
the solitaire.exe program, you can create an event automation plan using
this event action and combine it with a process monitor configured
to generate an event when solitaire.exe starts and the event automation plan will stop
the solitaire.exe process on that system.
Note: You cannot test
this event action before including it in an event automation plan. The Test menu
item under the template menu is not supported by this action.
Tip: You can use event-data-substitution variables
in the Program file name field.
