You can add remote connection items to a command queue file to automate the
connection process and perform tasks on multiple computers. As the queue file
runs, pcAnywhere connects to each host computer sequentially by using the
connection and security information that is configured in each remote connection
item.
After running the commands on the first computer in the connection list,
pcAnywhere ends the connection and then connects to the next computer in the
list. This process continues until the list of commands has been completed or
attempted on each host computer.
