If you know which computer you want to kick this off from, you can just use something like: /opt/zenoss/bin/winexe -U "${dev/zWinUser}%${dev/zWinPassword}" //computer 'putty.exe -ssh ${device/manageIp}'

Though I'm not sure if you can get the ${device/manageIp} to evaluate within the necessary ' ' for winexe to work... I haven't tried it.

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.

    I've done a quick search for this but have not turned up anything so
    here we go.

    Is there a way to define a command that will launch an executable at
    a location I specify such as my computer?

    I would like the ability to locate a switch or router from within
    Zenoss and then SSH directly to the box. I know I can create custom
    commands that will execute on the monitoring host, but I'd like to
    run an executable such as the following:

    I:\putty.exe -ssh ${device/manageIp}

    or something similar. Every time I enter the string above it errors
    out. I'm sure I'm not the first person to come across this...

    Thanks!
