RDP 2.x : launch a job with a command line

[Luangsay]

Hello,

I have a Windows RDP 2.20 server and I use to capture ghost images using the jobs on the Altiris Deployement Console.

I would like to launch those jobs with a scheduler, but not the scheduler provided with the Altiris Console. In this way, I need to launch my capture jobs with a command line that would be understood on a DOS window, or on a shell (I have installed cygwin on my RDP server).

Does anyone know if it is possible to launch jobs in command line? Or must we use the Deployment Console and do a "drag and drop" (a way that cannot be automatic...)?

Thanks,

Sourygna

Hi,

I found a command line util in the RDP console help (Deployment Solution Help): axSched.exe

Maybe it is for you.

Thanks!

axSched.exe seems to be the tool I was looking for.

I have just two little problems:

* I cannot find any documentation about it. Do you have one?

* I would like to tell the full path related to the job. Unfortunately, the option "/f" proves to accept only the last directory.
For instance, if my job is in:
Server Deployment\Linux\RedHat 3.0\capture
I can only pass the command:
axSched.exe computer1 "capture" /f "RedHat 3.0"
but not:
axSched.exe computer1 "capture" /f "Server Deployment\Linux\RedHat 3.0"

Do you have any idea?

Look at the Altiris Product Guide in the RDP CD under docs folder.

it gives better explanation on axsched.

Hope this helps,

Well, I only find very poor documentation related to axSched. And none explain how to give the full path of a job...
