Testing Your Script in the Script Server

To test your script in the script server, simply follow the instructions below. When you have finished you testing, simply type "quit" <cr< at the Script Server command line to exit the script server.

1. Start the script server - You can do this by typing the following command:

   shell> php <path_cacti>/script_server.php

   NOTE: Due to a bug in Windows implementation of PHP, you must type the full path name to the script_server.php file.

   script server> <path_myfunction> my_function argument1 argument2 ...

   In the Windows environment, your example could be the following:

   script server> c:\wwwroot\cacti\scripts\ss_myfunction.php ss_myfunction localhost public 1 get duddle
