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.
