To customize the custom inventory sample script for UNIX, Linux, and Mac

1. Clone or open an existing sample of the custom inventory script task.

   Note that the first lines of the script should not be changed. Changes should be made after the # SCRIPT_BEGINS_HERE label.

2. Specify the data class.

   Example:

   echo UNIX_PS_List

3. Specify the delimiters.

   Example:

   echo "Delimiters=\" \" "

4. Specify the data type and the length of each column.

   Example:

   echo string20 string20 string20 string256

5. Specify the column names.

   Example:

   echo PID Terminal Time Command

   Note that the column names are not used in 7.x custom inventory. The column names are left for backward compatibility with 6.x Inventory Solution. You can leave this line empty in 7.x but keep the echo command intact.

   Example:

   echo

6. Specify commands to retrieve data from system.

   Example:

   ps -e

7. Click Save changes.
