Pre-Execution Action Script tab
In the Pre-Execution Action Script tab of the Take Multiple Actions dialog you can create an action script that runs before the chosen set of actions is run.
![This window displays the Pre-Execution Action Script tab of the Take Multiple Actions dialog under which you can create an action script.](../Pictures/pre_execution_action_script_tab.jpg)
This tab is available from several different dialogs:
- Take action when deploying a baseline
- Take multiple actions
There are two buttons in this dialog:
- Do not run a custom action script before executing this multiple action group
- This is the default for most Fixlet actions, and is the recommended option.
- Run the following action script before executing this multiple action group
- You can select one of the following options and either modify
the existing script or enter a new script in the text area. Select
the type of action script that you want to use for this script:
- BigFix Action Script
- This is the BigFix standard scripting language for actions. For more information about the action language, see Introducing the action language.
- AppleScript
- This is Apple's scripting language for controlling computer resources.
- sh
- The action is a shell script to be run by a Linux or a UNIX or a bsd shell.
Note: By default, actions cannot be undone. Make sure
to test your action on a small scale before you deploy it in your
entire network.
