The run_cmd and run_cmd_timeout methods

The run_cmd method is intended to execute commands on the command prompt from a script.

The run_cmd_timeout method is intended to execute commands on the command prompt with the process termination timeout.

When invoking commands, the command prompt window does not open, i.e. the commands are executed in silent mode.

The syntax for calling methods is as follows:

function run_cmd (cmd: String)
function run_cmd_timeout (cmd: String, timeout: int)

Method arguments:

cmd is a command prompt command.
timeout (only for run_cmd_timeout) is a timeout for process to terminate after the command execution.

Example 1. Run the curl utility and send a POST request with the text "Hello" to the test URL https://postman-echo.com/post

var s = run_cmd("curl --request POST --url https://postman-echo.com/post --data \'Hello\'");
DebugLogString(s);

Example 2. Show CPU usage on Graph 1 updating on Timer 3.

var id = "1"; // id of the Charts object
var timer_id = "3"; // id of the Timer object to trigger the script
slave_id = "DESKTOP-5397BVV"; // id of the Computer object

if (Event.SourceType == "TIMER" && Event.Action == "TRIGGER" && Event.SourceId == timer_id)
{
	var date = Event.GetParam("date");
	var time = Event.GetParam("time");
	var cpu = "for /f \"tokens=2* delims=^,\" %k in ('typeperf \"\\Processor Information(_Total)\\% Processor Time\" -sc 1 ^| findstr \":\"') do echo %k";
	var cpu_usage = run_cmd(cpu);
	var cpu_usage2 = cpu_usage.replace(/\"/g,"");
	var cpu_usage3 = cpu_usage2.replace(/\s/g,"");
	DebugLogString(cpu_usage3);
	DoReactStr("ANALOGCHART",id,"ANALOG_PARAMS","int_obj_id<"+id+">,parent_id<>,slave_id<"+slave_id+">,objid<"+id+">,chan<5>,core_global<1>,text<"+cpu_usage3+">, min_val<0>,max_val<100>,sensor_id<cpu_usage>,time<"+time+">,date<"+date+">");
}
