Hi,

I’m wondering if there is any command line functionality I could use, for example, to execute an action from a fixlet on a select set of machines.

Thanks,

Lachlan Hillman.

Check out the Platform API. It’s not a traditional built-in command line, but you can achieve the same result with it.

Here is a link.

Thanks very much.

I notice on the page that is says:

The BigFix Platform API is COM-based and can be accessed by almost any programming language. However, BigFix provides a simple command line utility to make it easy to use the Platform API without programming by importing simple xml files (the same files that you can export/import in the BigFix Console).

I cannot find where to download this command line utility. Anybody know where?

Thanks,

Lachlan Hillman.

Lachlan,

It is referencing a program call “BESImportFile.exe” and it is in the link provided by Noah.
