Using RUN unders Tools

[Guest]

I can't find any doc's on the RUN under Tools menu. I want to run various programs on computers that I select but am unable to do so with this command. I was assuming that you selected the computers that you wanted the command to run on and then key in the command line and click on the OK. It does not run on the selected computers for me. All help appreciated on this.

This option will allow you to run a command on your local computer. Hyena doesn't have a function to run a command remotely.

Go to the SysInternals website and download PSTools.zip. Among them is one called PSEXEC. This will allow you to run a command line program on a remote computer from your desktop.

This works quite well. For instance I just defined a User Tool in Hyena to run IPConfig on a remote server. The syntax I used is:

CMD /C psexec \\servername ipconfig /all & pause

This brought up the output in a command window and then paused so I could read it.

Re: Using RUN unders Tools

I did it by adding this custom tool

psexec \\%E% cmd.exe

Fully interactive cmd window, works a treat.
