Using Scripts With SoftGrid

Friday, 20 April 2007 by Michel Roth

It seems like the Softgrid team has kept their promise. Kind of. In another edition of their Wednesday tips, the Softgrid Team has posted a nice article on using scripts with SoftGrid. They explain how these scripts work and different kind of parameters. Of course you need to add the script to the OSD file. So the you have the fuss of where you put it in the OSD file and how you comment is and stuff like that. You can avoid that by using the OSD Editor to do add scripts to the OSD files.

"We often times get questions about using scripts with SoftGrid so we thought we would post some basics to get you started. We have the ability to run any number and style of scripts within an OSD file and these scripts can be immensely useful in overcoming some limitations with applications or setting up particular configurations that an application would require in order to run properly.

Scripts written in almost any language can be passed from the OSD file of a SoftGrid enabled application to a client that has the necessary interpreter in place. Organizations may have preexisting scripts written in Visual Basic, Perl, .bat files, .cmd files, etc. that are required for their applications to run effectively. By following the basic rules of scripting in an OSD file those existing scripts can be leveraged here as well."
