Using command queue files to automate tasks
You can create a command queue file that contains file transfer, command-line,
and end-of-session commands while you work offline. These queue files are added
to the Command Queue window. You can connect to a host computer later and
run the commands that are contained in the queue file.
For example, you can create a queue file to distribute and install software updates
on a group of computers on your network.
The following is an example of how to set up a command queue file:
■
Add a command to create a folder on the host computer in which you want to
install the software.
See “Creating a folder on the host or remote computer” on page 180.
■
Add a command to copy the executable file from the remote computer to the
directory that you created on the host computer.
See “Copying or moving a file” on page 177.
