UNIX Shell Commands In addition to its own tasks, Apple Remote Desktop provides a way to easily execute UNIX commands on client computers. In order to send UNIX commands to the client computers, the client computers must have the BSD subsystem installed. The UNIX commands are shell command, which means you can write a script with conditionals, loops, and other functions of the shell, and not just send a single command. Send UNIX Command Templates Remote Desktop has a few built-in UNIX shell command templates for use with Send UNIX Command. In the Send UNIX Command task configuration dialog, you can select any one of the commands from the Templates pop-up menu. Selecting a template pastes a generic script into the UNIX command field. All you have to do is customize the script to your situation. For example, if you want to set a manual IP address for a client computer, in the Template pop-up menu choose Network Setup > Manual IP, replace the placeholder indicated in the pasted UNIX command with the real IP address, and send the command. You are free to make as many templates as your want from either existing templates or from scratch. Once saved, a template can be made the task's default, with all new instances of the task opening with the default template settings. For more information about Task Templates, see "Creating and Using Task Templates" on page 109. Chapter 8 Administering Client Computers 155
