Remote Execution
Windows When executing process remotely, EventSentry Admin Assistant temporarily creates the "EventSentry Admin Assistant Remote Execution Service" (AARemoteExecSvc) which then executes the command remotely and transmits the output back to EventSentry Admin Assistant.
SSH (Unix/Linux/etc) Logs into the remote host via SSH with the specified credentials and executes the specified command. SSH keys are not currently validated.
Local Execution When executing processes locally the $HOSTNAME variable will be resolved to the host name which is currently being processed. For example, specifying ping as the executable and $HOSTNAME as the argument will ping every selected host.
Condense Output When checked, removes all new line characters of the process output and replaces it with the space character. Hovering over the output will show the full output in a tool tip.
