Entry types events settings
Remote Desktop Manager Windows gives you the flexibility to automatically run operations before or after establishing a connection.
These operations are defined in the Events section of a session's properties. Define a script or a command line which executes at the appropriate time with the provided parameters, such as the session ID or username. For example, events can be used to execute an external batch file or application that prompts the user for more information, or to update a log on a remote server.
Settings
The Events section is comprised of four tabs, all of which determine at what point the Events are to be executed relative to the session, e.g., before the connection is established or after its interruption.
