Custom Commands Modules
To ease the management of the WCC III – MCD, these custom
commands were created so that long, cryptic Linux commands
do not have to be entered in the “RUNNING PROCESSES”
command prompt menu. These are script fi les that are run when
selecting the command line or the “Run” button function. You may
edit them with the “edit button” also, but it is not recommended by
WattMaster Controls, Inc.
