Custom Commands

EFT's CustomCommands can execute programs, scripts, or batch files with or without command line arguments, providing administrators almost limitless extensibility. These Commands can be invoked directly by a user from their client (if permitted by the Server administrator) or as an automated Action from EFT’s Event Rules.

When the Event Rule is triggered, EFT executes the specified custom Command and attributes. To configure EFT to execute Commands, you first create the command, then add the command to an Event Rule. In the administration interface, the Commands appear in the tree in the left pane within the Site for which they are defined.

With the Server tab selected, when you click the Commands node on the Server tab, the Commands List appears in the right pane.

• Click New to open the Custom Command Wizard and create a new Command.

• Click a Command then click Edit to edit an existing Command.

• Select a Command in the list, and then click Remove to delete it. (A confirmation message appears.)
