Remote Command Execution - HP T5135 - Compaq Thin Client User Manual

Remote Command Execution

HP Device Manager can remotely execute commands on a device using File and Registry templates.
In this context, a command is anything executable on the device's operating system. It can be
applications, DOS batch files, Windows scripts, etc. You can enter any command, however it is
recommended that these commands are tested on a client device first.
NOTE: DOS commands cannot be executed directly on a Windows XP Embedded OS. To execute
DOS commands you need to write them to a batch file saved with the suffix .bat, then execute the
batch file.
The Windows environment variable PATH may be different on each device, so it is important to enter
the full path to each command to make sure it can be found on the device. For example, to execute an
executable file named xxx.exe in a directory named C:\Program Files, enter the command as C:
\Program Files\xxx.exe.
To execute commands:
1. Select the File and Registry tab in the Template Pane.
2. Double-click the _File and Registry template to display the Template Editor.
