Running a command queue file during a session
Running a command queue file without starting a session
Symantec pcAnywhere lets you open a command queue file while in session and
run it. If the Command Queue is already running, you must pause it first. If you
have made changes in the Command Queue that have not been saved, pcAnywhere
prompts you to save the changes first.
To run a command queue file during a session
1
In the Session Manager window, on the left navigation bar, click Command
Queue.
2
Under Command Queue, click Open Queue.
3
In the Open window, select the command queue file that you want to open.
4
Click Open.
Symantec pcAnywhere runs the commands that are contained in the queue
file.
Symantec pcAnywhere lets you run a command queue file from the following
locations:
Command Queues
Remotes
Quick Connect
As the command queue file runs, pcAnywhere connects to each host computer
sequentially, using the connection and security information that is configured in
the remote connection items or in Quick Connect. 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.
Running a command queue file from the Command Queues
window
Symantec pcAnywhere places the command queue files that you create offline in
the Command Queues window. If the command queue file does not contain any
remote connection items, pcAnywhere prompts you to add one. As the queue runs,
the Command Queue window displays status information. The only action that
you can take in this window is to cancel the Command Queue. This ends the
connection and stops any pending actions.
