The Run Program object is used to
run any program or command on the UNIX computer that this object is
connected to.
Use the Run Program object to run
backup applications or a batch script that runs a set of complex
commands.
To configure the Run Program object
you will need to know the command line argument or program that you
want to run. You must also know if a user on the target computer
will need to interact with the program when it is run. The user
account that is running the Opalis UNIX Agent must have execute and
access permission to run programs or scripts on the UNIX
computer.
