Enclosed in this file are the various little scripts I discussed during the ARD webcast in November. Because of the way Send Unix Command works, you pretty much need to cut and paste these scripts into its window (which you can then save as a task) so it seemed like there wasn't much point in making these into separate script files as they really don't stand on their own.
Unless otherwise specified, all these scripts are intended to be run by selecting the user "root" in the Send Unix Command window.
I have used the Courier font for the scripts in this file itself.
Using These Scripts
- Select one or more computers - or a list of computers - in ARD
- Choose the Send UNIX Command icon
- Usually you will want to check Display all output and specify the user root
- Hit "Send".
- Optionally, if you think you might do this one again, choose File > Save Task. This will save the script - AND the associated list of computers.
What I sometimes do is to create a generic list called "Selected Computers", and I set up all my tasks to use that list rather than any specific machines. Then, later, when I want to run the script, I move the computers I'm interested to into that list. ARD remembers the name of the list, not the specific computers in it. |
