When a host script is scheduled, it is run in the scheduler environment. Therefore a UNIX scheduler must be available to run a UNIX script and only a Windows scheduler can run a Windows script.
It is possible to test a script interactively. For a Windows script, this is achieved by running the script on the current PC. For a UNIX script, WhereScape RED will attempt to start a telnet window to the UNIX host (as defined in the Connection set for the script) and run the script within this telnet window.
A script is invoked via the Execute > Execute the Script menu option. You can also right-click the script from the Host Script objects list on the left pane and select Execute Script from the context menu.
The output from the script is shown in the results pane.
A connection must be correctly set up to support UNIX script testing. Refer to the section on UNIX connections in the RED Installation Guide for details.
