Run Linux Command From Event

[AutomatedJim]

I am trying to run a Linux command from my HS3 box to start/stop a service on a windows machine. I can SSH into the HS3 box and successfully run this:

sudo net rpc -I ADDRESS -U USERNAME%PASSWORD service {stop|start} SVCNAME

I can not figure out how to run this from an event. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jim

Thanks Pete. I went to that thread which references another thread. Doesn't make sense to me.

Can anyone give me and example using the command I want to execute. I would rather put everything in a script, not execute an immediate script command.

Thanks,

Jim

Jim,

Cytec explained it the best using the a script called bash:

# Execute bash command
case $1 in bash*)
command=$(echo "$1" | sed -e 's/\<bash\>//g' | sed -e 's/^ *//')
eval $command
esac

This attachment shows a line command:


This one shows a executible bash script.

IE: you run the script bash following the the bash script called clean.sh

So you install a script called bash in your script directory and another one called startservice.sh or stopservice.sh

I think you want "Run Another Program or Process" action.

Use the Edit button to select the program to run, then enter all the command line arguments in the 'command parameters' field.

In the command you posted above, did you mean 'ssh' rather than 'sudo' ? sudo doesn't make much sense in that context, as 'net' isn't a Linux command.

You don't actually need to sudo, since HS3 is running as root already.
