Configuring a Different Shell

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

For example, to change a Windows system to use the Korn shell provided by MKSTools, change the shell parameter as follows:
shell C:\MKSTools\mksnt\ksh.exe -L -c \"%s\"

The %s in this command line is replaced by the step command when the system sends a command to the server. In this case, the quotes are escaped by backslashes.
