Log in to the Edge Signal platform
Navigate to the sidebar near the top of the SERVICES section where you’ll find the PROJECTS field
Select the project containing the online device on which you wish to execute a command
Navigate in the sidebar to the Remote Control dropdown menu, and select Commands
At the top right of the page click the Run Command button to open a dialogue
Select the desired device from the list of online devices
Note: A command can only be executed on one device at a time
Enter the desired command. It can be ad hoc (used only once), or you can save this command to use again later
For ad hoc, simply click Run Command to execute
The execution result will appear in the output column of the remote commands list page
Note: This result is limited to 2000 characters and will be truncated if longer
The command details can be accessed by clicking on the document icon. In this case, there is no docker running so little content is shown
To save a remote command for future use simply enter the command, toggle to save, then enter a relevant name and run the command. This command is now saved, and the execution result will appear momentarily
To access saved remote commands, navigate to Remote Commands in the ADMINISTRATION section of the sidebar
These commands can be executed on other online devices in any of your projects
You can also save remote commands from this section without executing them, by clicking New Command and entering the relevant details
Note: Currently, only instant execution of a command is supported under scheduling
To delete a saved command simply click on the command info icon, select Delete Command, and click the Delete button
After executing several commands, you can filter the result history by entering a date range and selecting the relevant device or devices
