NOTE: In process to document and format.

• The commands and wizards are basic operations that it will be run by the PXE OpenGnSys client.
• The difference between a command and a wizard is in the amount of information required by the user or it is shown before to running.
• Both share the property of:
  • To monitor - To see the result of the operation from classrooms->$SCOPE->actions queue option.
  • To store or add the operation as a procedure and/or task.

• Before to explain the task and procedures it is necesary:
  • Scope definition.
    • Application scope of an action is: organizational unit, classrooms group, classrooms, computers group, computer.
    • Scopes are structured in hierarchical mode.

• The tasks and procedures are used to group the basic operations (commands and wizards):
  • Procedures:
    • To be included as option in the clients menus.
    • To be included as init operation of the OpenGnSys clients (autoexec)
    • From web console as quick operation on a grouping.
  • Tasks:
    • To be used on a program mode from the tasks manager.
    • To be used as element on the clients menu. So, you can have a private menu only on a computer, but the operation can be apply on a scope.

• The procedure scope is similar to commands and wizards, in other words it is applied to the scope where it is run in a given time.

• A command, wizard and procedures, depending of the scope level where it is run, it will be applied to all children scopes.
  • For this reason, it is recommended to use a computer group, for execute puntual tasks over a number of computers.
  • The grouping or change the computer group can be doing:
    • One by one: on a computer scope, choose option "move" and then on the desired scope, "place".
    • Multiple selection from "Relocate computers" option of a classroom scope. See ticket:387

• Depending on the action to run, the operation will be run on all computers currently on (PXE og client), and others will be programmed. So that if a computer is off, at the time of turn on the operation is carried out.

• All these operations are running in the PXE OpenGnSys client and make use of:
  • InterfaceAdm?
  • Scripts
  • API

We can evaluate any tasks and the running process in the client (InterfaceAdm?->Scripts->API) from the text console which provides the ogClient-admin or remotely by ssh or any management cluster tool with ssh.
