• Stephen Hibbert (Intel) June 30, 2009 12:43 PM PDT    Terminal Tool I'm trying to create a Terminal Tool similar to the one in Commander. I really just want to be able to send commands to the agent running on the OS (ie. "exec notepad"). This may be a very broad question, but how would I go about doing this? I tried looking through Commander's source code, but I'm not even sure where to look. Brett McKown (Intel) July 1, 2009 3:46 PM PDT Rate   #1 Re: Terminal Tool If you want to understand the interaction between the Manageability Commander Tool and the Manageability Outpost Tool, from a programmatic perspective, then I recommend you review the following source code files: Manageability ControlsProcessMonitorForm.cs : startButton_Click method -- Basically just sends a plain text string that contains the "EXEC" command (as understood by the Outpost tool) and a program executable name (including path if not found in the standard system path on the target system's OS). Manageability Outpost ToolAmtSerialAgent.cs : ProcessDataBlockHandler method -- Look for the "if" statement that handles any "exec" commands. This is how the remote agent receives the commands to execute a local process. It attempts to create a local process for the given application executable. - Brett McKown Senior Software Engineer Intel Digial Enterprise Group, Digital Office Platform Division - Brett McKown Senior Software Engineer Intel Architecture Group, Business Client Platform Division Software Engineering Stephen Hibbert (Intel) July 2, 2009 10:48 AM PDT Rate   #2 Reply To #1 Re: Terminal Tool Quoting - Brett McKown (Intel) If you want to understand the interaction between the Manageability Commander Tool and the Manageability Outpost Tool, from a programmatic perspective, then I recommend you review the following source code files: Manageability ControlsProcessMonitorForm.cs : startButton_Click method -- Basically just sends a plain text string that contains the "EXEC" command (as understood by the Outpost tool) and a program executable name (including path if not found in the standard system path on the target system's OS).

Yes :) @Brett So where can i find the same source code files in C++ ?? Brett McKown (Intel) July 6, 2009 11:52 AM PDT Rate   #5 Reply To #4 Re: Terminal Tool @Ashish, Unfortunately, the Manageability Developer Tool Kit is primarily only written in C#/.NET and this code sample isn't directly available in C++. However, you can look at the native C++ samples provided in the Intel(R) AMT SDK, specifically the IMRGUI application (<SDK>WindowsIntel_AMTSamplesRedirectionIMRGUI folder in the SDK download from this website). Basically, with the Intel Redirection Library (imrsdk.dll) you're sending/receiving plain text strings via the IMR_SOLSendText and IMR_SOLReceiveText functions. Follow the basic flow for establishing a SOL session with a client Intel(R) AMT system and then you can perform this simple task of sending an "exec" command to your custom Outpost-like client application or service. The client application/service would then create a new process to fulfill that "exec" command via the CreateProcess function (Win32 function call). Review the "Redirection Library Design Guide" in the Intel(R) AMT SDK documentation folder and the sections for a "Typical SOL Scenario" and the "Functions for SOL Handling" to get a better understanding of how to accomplish this via native software development in C/C++. And please feel free to follow-up with additional questions if you need further assistance. - Brett McKown Senior Software Engineer Intel Digital Enterprise Group, Digital Office Platform Division - Brett McKown Senior Software Engineer Intel Architecture Group, Business Client Platform Division Software Engineering
