ShellAction

run any arbitrary local system command.

Description

This event handler can be configured to run an arbitrary local system command subject to local security restrictions. This is one of the ways to connect events to external activity. It is not expected for it to be used for any activity that is run very frequently, i.e. less than once every 5 minutes.
