To the right of the list, Linux/Unix Task Details for a new Linux/Unix task displays.
 

Step 2

Enter / select Details for a new Linux/Unix task, using the field descriptions below as a guide.

  • Required fields display an asterisk ( * ) after the field name.
  • Default values for fields, if available, display automatically.

To display more of the Details fields on the screen, you can either:

  • Use the scroll bar.
  • Temporarily hide the list above the Details.
  • Click the  button above the list to display a pop-up version of the Details.

Step 3

Click the  button. The task is added to the database, and all buttons and tabs in the Task Details are enabled.


Note
titleNote

To open an existing record on the list, either:

  • Click a record in the list to display its record Details below the list. (To clear record Details below the list, click the New button that displays above and below the Details.)
  • Clicking the Details icon next to a record name in the list, or right-click a record in the list and then click Open in the Action menu that displays, to display a pop-up version of the record Details.

With Command or Script set to Script, the value of an environment variable named UAG_SCRIPT_DIRECTORY will be the directory where the temporary script file is written on the Agent system. The path formed with this value will be passed to the shell executing the script.

This variable and the variable UAG_SCRIPT_DIRECTORY_RELATIVE_TO is intended to support chroot environments, where the path used to refer to a script file may change depending on the context. The value of UAG_SCRIPT_DIRECTORY_RELATIVE_TO is prepended to UAG_SCRIPT_DIRECTORY when the Agent writes the script, but is not included in the path passed to the shell executing the script. For example, if a user's Agent system has a chroot in /jail, and wishes to see the script in /scripts while chrooted, they would set UAG_SCRIPT_DIRECTORY=/scripts and UAG_SCRIPT_DIRECTORY_RELATIVE_TO=/jail, so that UAG will write the script in /jail/scripts, and pass the path to the script to the shell as /scripts.
