Remote Command Execution
HP Device Manager can remotely execute commands on a device
using
File and Registry
templates. In this context, a command is any-
thing executable on the device’s operating system. It can be applica-
tions, DOS batch files, Windows scripts, etc. You can enter any
command, however it is recommended that these commands are
tested on a client device first.
Note: DOS commands cannot be executed directly on a Windows XP
Embedded OS. To execute DOS commands you need to write them to
a batch file saved with the suffix “
.bat ”, then execute the batch file.
The Windows environment variable PATH may be different on each
device, so it is important to enter the full path to each command to
make sure it can be found on the device. For example, to execute an
executable file named
xxx.exe in a directory named C:\Program
Files , enter the command as C:\Program Files\xxx.exe
To execute commands:
1
Select the
File and Registry
tab in the
Template Pane
.
2
Double-click the
_File and Registry
template to display the
Template Editor
