<![CDATA[Action - Execute command via remote agent]]>Hello!

I am trying to run an external program (cmd.exe) whenever a threshold is reached.

I added an Actions Configuration called notepad of type 'Execute command on remote node via agent',
and in the agent's configfile (etc/nxagentd.conf) i add 'ActionShellExec = notepad:cmd.exe /C pause'.

But, it does not work.

Can anyone give me a hint?

THX! 😉

In older version os windows (before 7) you can enabled "Interact with GUI" option in service manger, but for newer ones – you'll have to run agent as application, not as service.
You can add it to autorun, and if you want to hide console window – start it with "-H" command line option.
