The X2Shell brings the power of X2A2 technology to your Shell / Console processing needs. It is a console based processing engine that runs jobs based on an XML configuration. Utilizing a similar language-set as the X2A2, it can automate anything from simple "DOS" tasks to complex operations and support jobs. It runs natively as a console application, meaning that it can either run batch jobs entirely, or integrate seamlessly with them. However, it can also interact with the user in ways that a traditional console application cannot.
Some of X2Shell's execution types:
- command - Launch a new process / executable or shell extension
- http - Retrieve web pages or data from internet web servers
- mail-to - Send an SMTP mail message to one or more recipients
- msmq - Manage Microsoft Message Queues
- powershell - Extend the power of X2Shell by incorporating Powershell
- registry - Interact with the Windows Registry
People that should consider using X2Shell:
- If you think that DOS "BAT-files" are too "old-school", but you still need to automate jobs
- If you are struggling with Powershell, and would like something easier
- If you need to run jobs for managing a small, medium or enterprise environment
- If you would just like to play around with a new language and try it out
If you are curious about the X2Shell, or even X2A2 programming in general, download it for free and try it yourself. We have included a couple of examples, and highly recommend that you explore.
