Execute command activity

Post by bobthebuilder »

All,

I'm trying to use the execute command activity stage in building my sequence.

The stage specifies two parameters

1) Command
2) External Parameters

I'm tyring to execute the rm -r /home/a/b/c

Could you tell me how it fits the description.

Also would the above command needs to be prefixed with a unix command line prompt.

Doesn't really matter - put the whole command in the Command box or split it between them as you think is appropriate. As far as I know, it just sticks the two halves together and then runs the result.

And no - no 'prefix' needed.
