Command Script Notification Method

The Command Script Notification Method can execute a command, a command line application, a batch file, or a script. You may pass event information in the form of variables, leveraging information in the event, such as the computer name or the message details field in any batch files or scripts that are executed.

ELM supports Windows Script Host (WSH) and generic command line (cmd.exe) files. WSH is a language-independent scripting host for 32-bit Windows platforms. WSH supports scripts written in Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript) or JScript. You may also use Perl and Python scripts, or any other script type that includes a script engine. WSH can also serve as a controller of ActiveX scripting engines.

Scripts and command line files empower you to automatically initiate corrective action. When combined with Resource Kit, third-party and custom tools, you can cause almost any action to be taken when needed: restarting services, rebooting systems, copying, moving or deleting files, etc.
