Well, there are several problems to overcome to be able to do something like
this:
The variables ${device/manageIp} is only resolvable by the zenoss system.
So the first problem to overcome is you have to get zenoss to tell you what
that variable resolves to.
Then, you'd have to get zenoss to kick off an application on your local
machine, with the resolved variable information.
With some javascripting or somesuch all this is possible, but from what I
know, that particular itch hasn't been scratched yet...
Any simple method like what you're trying to do, will attempt to kick off
the application from the zenoss server, not your local system.
