About Running External Scripts and Commands Responses
External scripts and commands responses are useful when you need to have a
response that performs actions beyond those that Final Cut Server provides. For
example, you could create a script that adds a new folder to a device whenever a new
production is created. You could even specify parameters that would name the folder
the same as the title of the production.
You can use this response to run more than just scripts—you can use it to run just
about any executable file.
To access the run an external script or command response settings:
1
Click the Create button in the Administration window’s Responses pane to create a
new response.
2
Choose “Run an external script or command” from the Response Action pop-up menu.
The Run Script pane of the Response window contains the settings for configuring the
script to run.
The Run Script pane contains the following settings:
 Command Path: Enter the path and name of the script or other executable file this
response runs.
 Command Parameters: Enter special parameters that can be used to customize the
script that runs. For example, you can specify codes, such as [Title], that the script
can use; this is similar to how they are used with email responses.
Click Run Script to show
the Run Script pane.
Choose “Run an external
script or Command.”
