About Task Scripts

Task scripts login to devices through SSH or Telnet and run command-line interface (CLI) commands on devices. These tasks can perform a number of operations, such as restoring or backing up a running or startup configuration, or changing an application password.

WhatsConfigured comes with two pre-configured task scripts; you can also configure your own custom task scripts using the WhatsConfigured Custom Script Language (The WhatsConfigured Custom Script Language, http://www.whatsupgold.com/WCfg30CustScriptLang). A script debugger is available to assist you in script creation when you access the Task Script Library from the WhatsUp Gold console.

Task scripts are configured from and stored in the Task Script Library and associated to WhatsConfigured tasks in the WhatsConfigured Task dialog.
