How to execute a script in Hyperic GUI?

[Bluewhite]

I create a "New platform service" whose type is "Script", and set its "path" to a simple script in the remote machine which just touch a file for testing.
But I don't know how to run this script in Hyperic GUI, and I found this script was executed, but I don't know when, how...

I thought there should be a button in this script type service view, and clicking this button can execute the script immediately.

Hi,

The script is executed by agent, according Collection Interval of metrics. See "Metric Data" tab.

Sounds like you are trying to create a control action, not a script service. To create a control action, create a new platform service as type 'fileserver file' and then configure it to point at your script.

The script service is so that you can run a script ( like a nagios_check ) at regular intervals and get the exit code from it. This is likely running every 5 minutes.

Control actions through 'fileserver file' are slightly different. Configuring it as a control action will not run it at regular intervals by default, instead you have 3 different options to run the script. On Demand, scheduled and in response to a alert.

Putting this on the forge as it comes up frequently.
