I am trying to call an action from an agent with a parameter. I defined the action in the agent's config file like this:

ActionShellExec = Echo: /tmp/script.sh $1
The script only echo's it's first parameter to a file.

I am trying to call the action from an Action Object Tool.
If I define "Agent's Action" as: Echo, it works and I get in agent's log file with debug level 9 the following:

But if I define "Agent's Action" as: Echo parameter1, it fails with a communication failure.
The log looks like this:

This happens in version 1.2.14 and 1.2.16 also.

Thank you,

I defined an action in an agent's config file. Something like:

Action = test_action: /bin/echo "hello"

Is there a way to define an Object Tool that will call this action, and also have the output of the action displayed in the NetXMS management interface?
