Recommendations for Using Extensions

When you create SystemEDGE extensions, follow these guidelines:

Do not edit empire.asn1. Use a separate MIB specification.
Use SystemEDGE debugging (log file monitoring) to find output, plug-in, and extension problems.
Use 128 characters or less for extension entries to meet the Windows limitation on command line length. Remember that the length includes paths, commands, and arguments.
Do not use batch files. Instead use Windows scripting, VBScript, Perl, C, Shell, and so on.
Watch the fork/exec time for new extensions. Extensions are synchronous and can block other actions.
