XKEY Keyword

The XKEY keyword lets you send a CA Automation Point operation instruction to a host session while that session is in X state (that is, unable to accept instructions entered from the keyboard).

This keyword has the following format:

XKEY=(instruction)

instruction

Specifies the name of the keyboard operation (for example, POWER_RESET) that you want the session to receive.

Notes:

• The @ character must always precede the keyboard operation name, and the name must be enclosed in quotation marks (@"key_opt"). The entire operation instruction, including the @ character, must be enclosed in parentheses.
• For a list of valid keyboard operations, see the Administrator Guide.

Example:

The following XKEY statement sends a RESET keystroke to a session that is currently in X-state.

XKEY=(@"RESET")
