Scheduled task

Command: Type the command that you want to run on the managed node

If the command is not in the action, command, monitor or category directory on the managed node, or in the default path for the user account under which the command will be run, then the path to the command must be included. (The action, command, monitor and category directories are located under Program Files\HP\HP BTO Software\Installed Packages\{790C06B4-844E-11D2-972B-080009EF8C2A}\bin\OpC\vpwin\)

• If you type the HP ITO Account name (which was the former default account name and provides backwards compatibility for earlier versions of HP Operations Manager for Windows), the account will still run under the same account as the agent is running. In other words, this choice behaves the same way as the Execute as user: option. HP ITO Account acts like an alias and is mapped to $AGENT_USER. So even though you specify HP ITO Account in this box, the actual user will still be Local System.
• Any other account name you enter will run as whatever is specified. For example, if you enter a user called Exchange_User, the account runs as Exchange_User.

If you type the password, then a standard Windows logon as user is performed before executing the command. If no password is entered, then an HPOM switch user is performed before executing the command.

Should I provide the password or not?

Type the Perl script in the window. Refer to Policy objects and examples for information about writing scripts for HP Operations.

NOTE:
The agent runs as a service that has no standard input, standard output, or standard error. Therefore, the predefined file handles STDIN, STDOUT, and STDERR are not available for Perl scripts in scheduled task policies. It is also not possible to open file handles that use command pipes or capture the standard output from commands within backticks (`).
