Run Script
The Run Script action enables you to run a bash script on your edge device.
You might have several reasons to use the Run Script action, such as preparing the edge devices for installing a new software version or doing some special tasks after a version has been received. You may also have scripts that help to resolve issues in a software version that is running on the device.
Exit codes are utilized to confirm the successful execution of a script and ensure that the procedure completed without encountering any errors.
