Customize the console

Hello,

is it possible to add custom actions to the console menus?
I'm thinking of a shutdown or restart command for selected machines (similar to "Start with WakeOnLine," for example).

And if so, what precautions should I take to avoid having to redo everything in case of a WAPT version update?

Thank you.

Hello psanchez,

WAPT incorporates the concept of plugins. This feature isn't very detailed in the documentation due to the potential breadth of the topic (information current as of August 2019). Plugins are a vast and therefore somewhat vague term. However, there are people who use WAPT and derive significant benefits from plugin functions, so plugins are useful. Those who use them are self-reliant and, unfortunately, not very active on the forum.

If you know how to read the source code, you'll find out how to achieve your goal. For your research, don't expect official support from the forum, the mailing list, or the TIS teams. Your best approach is to identify people on this forum who use plugins and organize a discussion thread with them.

Sincerely, Vincent
