Task Capabilities
Proxy’s Task feature lets you describe the parameters of a session and save them
by name.
When you create a task, you specify the following:
Š
The name of the host PC to connect to
Š
Optionally, a new set of settings to put into effect
Š
Optionally, a DOS, Windows, or Windows 95 program to automatically
start up when connected
Suppose, for example, there is a spare PC on your network which you take over
in order to run an Excel report macro. You could then set up a task called “Excel
Report,” which would automatically connect to the correct host PC, set the
desired settings, and run Excel with the appropriate command line.
The Task Dialog
Using the Task dialog, you can create, edit, and run tasks. To bring up the Task
dialog, select
Task
from the Control Menu.
