Add a Single Event Handler Record - Windows

Adding a Single Event Handler Record for Windows

In this example, a single handler record identified, listdir, is added to the local event handler database.

Whenever a UEM Server invokes this event handler, a handler process is started that executes the command ls -al, which lists the contents of the current directory on a UNIX system. The encrypted.file file, referenced by the -encryptedfile option, is a Universal Encrypted file. This file contains a user ID and, optionally, a password that is used by an event-driven UEM Server to establish a security context in which to execute the handler process (provided the USER_SECURITY option is enabled in the UEM Server's configuration).

Once this record is added, it is available immediately to both demand-driven and event-driven UEM Servers.

Note

If a demand-driven UEM Server uses this handler, any user information specified in encrypted.file is overridden by the user information provided by the UEM Manager's command options.


uemload -add -handler_id listdir -encryptedfile encrypted.file 
-cmd "ls -al"
