About scripts

About scripts

Scripts provide a point-and-click interface to perform tasks that typically require a manual process or advanced programming. You can create scripts and run them to perform tasks on target devices across your network.

Scripts automate tasks such as:

You can create these types of scripts:

Option

Description

Offline KScripts

Scripts that run at a scheduled time, based on the target device's clock. Offline KScripts can run even when target devices are not connected to the appliance, such as when devices start up or when users log in. You can create these scripts using the scripting templates.

Online KScripts

Scripts that run only when a target device is connected to the appliance. Online KScripts run at scheduled times based on the appliance clock. You can create these scripts using the scripting templates.

Online shell scripts

Scripts that run at scheduled times based on the appliance clock, but that run only when the target device is connected to the appliance. Online shell scripts are created using simple text-based scripts, such as Bash, Perl, batch, and so on, that are supported by the target device’s operating system. Batch files are supported on Windows, along with the different shell script formats supported by the specific operating system of the target devices.

Each script consists of:

Obtaining script dependencies

Obtaining script dependencies

Script dependencies include files and other items that are used by scripts. If scripts have dependencies, and those dependencies are present on target devices, those dependencies are used. Otherwise, scripts look for dependencies on repositories in a specified order.

Scripts obtain dependencies from the target device and repositories in the following order:
