SExec Activities

Properties   Configuration Settings  

The SExec Activity enables your WorkFlow to execute remote commands over SSH.

Remarks

The SExec Activity uses the SSH "exec" subsystem to remotely execute commands from your WorkFlow.

SExec Send Activity

The SExec Send Activity provides an ultra light-weight remote command execution client for your WorkFlow. You must first set an SSHHost. If the SSH server requires authentication, you should set the necessary SSHUser, and either SSHPassword or SSHCert depending on the SSHAuthMode you wish to use. Once the SSH server information is set, you must enter the Command you wish to execute.

Whenever called from the WorkFlow, the activity will execute the given command. If the Stdin property has any data, that data will supplied to the executing command's standard input.

Once the command has finished executing, the activity will write the output from the command's standard out pipe to the variable pointed to by the CommandStdOut property. It will also write the command's exit code to the variable pointed to by the CommandExitStatus property, and any data from the standard err pipe to the variable pointed to by the CommandErrorMessage property.

Please refer to the section on adapter configuration for a description of how to configure receive locations and send ports for this adapter.
