About this task

The SSHEXEC action is recognized for a monitored application that has at least one SSH Script attribute group. It indicates that the command that follows the SSHEXEC keyword is remotely started on the SSH target system. The command is started with the credentials and privileges of the user that is configured to monitor the SSH target system. The command is run on the remote system that is represented by the Managed System Name.

Procedure

To include the Take Action command in a situation or workflow policy, use the following syntax for the system command:

SSHEXEC [Command]

For example:

SSHEXEC [ls &path]

Note: You can customize the command or portions of the command during invocation of the Take Action by using the Take Action arguments option with the Command.

Note: If the Command includes multiple arguments, then consider including the bracket parenthesis to enable invocation of the Take Action command with the tacmd command-line interface.
