Apple Remote Desktop - Send UNIX Command Templates

Send UNIX Command Templates

Remote Desktop has a few built-in UNIX shell command templates for use with Send
UNIX Command. In the Send UNIX Command task configuration dialog, you can select
any one of the commands from the Templates pop-up menu. Selecting a template
pastes a generic script into the UNIX command field. All you have to do is customize
the script to your situation. For example, if you want to set a manual IP address for a
client computer, in the Template pop-up menu choose Network Setup > Manual IP,
replace the placeholder indicated in the pasted UNIX command with the real IP
address, and send the command.

You are free to make as many templates as your want from either existing templates or
from scratch. Once saved, a template can be made the task’s default, with all new
instances of the task opening with the default template settings.

For more information about Task Templates, see “Creating and Using Task Templates”
on page 109.
