Configuring a different shell

You can configure an agent to use a shell other than the default shell by editing parameters in the BFAgent.conf file.

For example, to change a Windows system to use the Korn shell provided by MKSTools, you can change the shell parameter with this command:

shell C:\MKSTools\mksnt\ksh.exe -L -c \"%s\"

The % in this command is replaced by the step command when the system sends a command to the server. In this case, use the backslash escape character to include quotation marks as literals in the command.
