Managing Script Runners
The Script Runners editor creates and manages interpreters and their associated command templates. Templates are sent to the Agent machine so the Agent knows how to run scripts received from the centralized database. For more information, see Embedded Scripts.
To add, edit, or remove script runners, your role must have the Maintain Scripts function privilege. Without this privilege, Add Runner is disabled and the edit and remove buttons remain inactive. For more information, see Privileges.
Script Runners editor
The Script Runners editor displays all defined runners in a table. Use the filter field above the table to search runners by name.
The table contains the following columns:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | The unique name of the script runner. |
| Timestamp | The date and time the runner was last updated. |
| Script Type | The script type associated with this runner. |
| OS | The operating system platform (Windows or UNIX). |
| Command | The command template used to run scripts of the associated type on the target platform. |
Toolbar
The toolbar appears at the top-right corner of the editor. The following actions are available:
| Button | Description |
|---|---|
| Add Runner | Opens the Add Runner dialog to create a new script runner. |
| Edit Runner | Opens the Edit Runner dialog for the selected runner. Enabled when one runner is selected. |
| Remove Runner | Deletes the selected runner after confirmation. Enabled when one runner is selected. |
You can also double-click a runner to open the Edit Runner dialog.
Right-click menu
Right-clicking a runner in the table opens a context menu with the same Add Runner, Edit Runner, and Remove Runner options as the toolbar.
