The Run Script pane of the Response window contains the settings for configuring the
script to run.

Click Run Script to show
the Run Script pane.

Choose “Run an external
script or command.”

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.

Important:

If you are running a script interpreter such as osacript and you want to pass

the script itself as an argument, put the path to the script interpreter in the command
path and put the script’s path in the command arguments. Otherwise if the script itself
is executable, it can be run directly via the command path.

About Check the Disk Space of the Database Volume Responses

Check the disk space of the database volume responses are useful to make sure that you
are warned if your Final Cut Server catalog database is in danger of running out of disk
space.

Important:

This only applies to the catalog’s database file and does not apply to the

assets stored on the various devices.

The typical use of this response would be to create a daily schedule that uses this response
to check the amount of free disk space available for the database. The response writes a
value to the log showing the amount of free disk space. If that value is lower than the
warning level you entered in the response, a warning is issued, with the idea being that
you could have a subscription that emails you when this warning occurs.
