    Custom commands allow you to perform many functions from within the BMC Server Automation Console that might otherwise require you to launch a command line interface like Network Shell or other external applications.

    You can define a custom command to perform any of the following actions:

    • Launch a script or executable program on a target server. If necessary, the script or program can execute against a file or directory on the target server.
    • Launch an application that resides on the user's local computer.
      Scripts, programs, or applications can execute in a command line interface, a graphical user interface, or a tabular format, like a spreadsheet, that is displayed within a separate tab.

    A typical installation includes standard custom commands that are available by default if your role has the appropriate permissions. The following table lists the standard custom commands BMC Server Automation provides:
