Process start

You can remotely run files using the Start process task. For example, you can remotely run an utility that creates the computer configuration file. Next you can use the Get file task to receive the created file in Kaspersky Security Center Web Console.

To create the Start process task:

  1. In the main window of the Web Console, select Assets (Devices) → Tasks.

    The list of tasks opens.

  2. Click Add.
  3. Configure the task settings:
    1. In the Application drop-down list, select Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Nodes.
    2. In the Task type drop-down list, select Start process.
    3. In the Task name field, enter a brief description of the task and click Next.
  4. In the Task scope section, select managed devices and click Next.
  5. Enter the account credentials of the user whose rights you want to use to run the task. Click Next.

    By default, Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Nodes starts the task as the system user account (SYSTEM).

  6. Finish the wizard by clicking the Finish button. A new task will be displayed in the list of tasks.
  7. Click the new task. The task properties window opens.
  8. Select the Application settings tab.
  9. Select the Start settings section and enter the process start command:

    Suppose you want to run an utility (utility.exe) that saves the information about the computer's configuration to a file named conf.txt in the current folder (by default). The utility is in the C:\Users\admin\Diagnostic\ folder. You must save the configuration file in the C:\Users\admin\Documents\Configuration folder. Enter the following values:

    • Executable command – C:\Users\admin\Diagnostic\utility.exe
    • Command line arguments (optional) – /R conf.txt
    • Path to the working folder (optional) – C:\Users\admin\Documents\Configuration
  10. In the task properties window, select the Schedule tab.
  11. Configure the task schedule.

    Wake-on-LAN is not available for this task. Make sure the computer is turned on to run the task.

  12. Click Save.
  13. Select the check box next to the task and click the Start button.

As a result, Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Nodes runs the command in silent mode and starts the process. You can view the results of the task in task properties in the Execution results section.
