The "Scripts" feature in JetPatch allows users to automate tasks and execute custom scripts across IT infrastructure. This feature enables administrators to define and schedule scripts to perform configuration changes, software installations, or system checks, on multiple endpoints simultaneously.

Here you can enter your installation specifications for the different patches. Scripts can be either uploaded files or one-liner scripts written directly into the console. Each script must be connected to a task and can’t run independently

Script Library

The Script library contains the Scripts you have created, Built-In scripts created by JetPatch which cannot be changed in any way.

1. To view the Library, go to System  from the main menu and select Scripts
2. The Search bar at the top left corner will enable you to search through the Script Name by name only
