Execute action

Purpose

The Execute action runs an arbitrary command on the target machine. Command settings can be specified, if required, and environment variables. The program will be run with the user permissions of the user currently logged into the system.

Any command output can be viewed in the Commands page. See "Commands page".

WARNING: although all commands are run using the agent's concealment system and are thus invisible, any change in the file system (i.e.: a file created on the desktop) will be visible to the user. Be careful.

WARNING: avoid programs that require user interaction or that open graphical interfaces.

Tip: use applications launched by command line or batch file since their processes (and corresponding command line window) are hidden by the agent.

Reference to the agent's folder

The $dir$ virtual environment variable that refers to the agent's installation folder (hidden) can be added to the command string.
