System Actions

The "System Actions" utility allows you to execute Windows commands and launch external applications.

Enter commands in the "Commands" field. Important: the executed commands must not wait for user keyboard input. System commands such as CD, MKDIR, DEL, etc. must be executed using cmd /c. Example:

cmd /c mkdir c:\temp\wget
wget -O c:\temp\wget\google.htm https://google.com/
cmd /c dir c:\temp\wget

The "Console Output" window displays messages that the executed commands print to the console, for example:

cmd /c mkdir c:\temp\wget
wget -O c:\temp\wget\google.htm https://google.com/
