Run a task to initiate a task instance. Running a scheduled task executes a specific tool on specific systems or events.

To run a scheduled task:

  1. From the tool menus, select Tasks & LogsView All Scheduled Tasks. The All Scheduled Tasks are displayed in the workspace.

  2. Select a task from the list, and click [Run Now].

    Note: If the task currently has a task instance running, the [Run Now] button is disabled.

Command Line Interface

Use the mxexec command to execute tools immediately and the mxtask command to schedule tasks for later. Perform these tasks from the command line interface (CLI). For assistance with this command, refer to the HP-UX or Linux manpage by entering man mxexec at the command line or refer to the Windows command line help. Refer to Getting Started - Using Command Line Interface Commands for more information on how to access the manpage.
