Running Scripts Immediately

To run a script as a job immediately, perform the following:

  1. Go to Config Management > Job Management > Scripts tab.
  2. Hover the mouse over the Action icon of a script and then choose Run Now.
    The Script Run Now window appears. You can choose to run a script (the default) or a template as a job. Templates support a push mode; scripts do not.
  3. If any input is required by the selected script, enter it in the right panel and click Next. (Note that in this step, the selected script is highlighted in the left pane of the window, listed with all other scripts in the library.)
  4. If you have custom fields for data entry, add that information and click Next. If not, simply click Next.
  5. Select the Device Groups or Devices to run the job against from their respective tabs and then click Next.
    Click the Next Page or Previous Page icons to navigate pages of the Device Groups and Devices lists.
    In the Devices list, use the Device Groups section to choose the device group for device selection.
    In the Devices list, use the search box and type in a string of any length to search for a device name or an IP address. You can also search by the values shown in the Network View field.
  6. On the Review and Run page, review your settings. If necessary, use the Previous button to return to previous steps to make changes. When you are finished, click Run Now to begin the script or template execution.
