Custom Command/Extended Object export output to local drive

richard mcleod Jun 5, 2012 9:48 AM

Does anyone know if it is possible to export Custom Command/Extended Object output to a local drive from Windows RCP client? Possibly to the users home dir?

I tried highlighting the data and a ctrl+c but that didn't work.

I know that I can open nsh and execute the command and pipe the output to file.

I am looking to limit nsh usage as the end user roles I have setup are supposed to be Read-Only (no administrative functions should be performed), it would make their lives easier if they were able to export or copy output data from the RCP client.

Use the //@$HOME path to get back to the user’s home dir. like:

Cat //@$HOME/foo.log

So if I create a custom command to dump the scheduled tasks for a Windows server, I would implement the command like this?

type: remote tabular
Allow to be run against: Servers
command: schtasks /query >> //@$HOME/%s-task.log

maybe like this:
local tabular
nexec %H "cmd /c \"schtasks /query\" >> //@${HOME}/%s-task.log

remote might work, the redirect needs to happen in a nsh context.

try this as a local gui command

nsh -c "nexec %H cmd /c ""schtasks /query"" > //@${HOME}/%H-task.log
