Run remote command for logged in user

[ITguru]

Hi
I have a question regarding remote command actions:

I have a virtual windows 10 box. On this system there is a programm running (not as a service) as a logged in user "supplies".
I can monitor if the process of the application stopped.
Now I tried to configure a remote action to kill the process and restart it.
But this seems not to work for the currently logged in user "supplies".

How can I start the process with the user "supplies" that is logged in?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Thanks for your reply

maybe I have to be a bit more specific.
Meanwhile I managed to get the process start via the action but its hidden (hidden process only visible in task manager). Maybe that is not a zabbix issue but how do I manage to start the process visible (with window / gui)? When I run the action on the remote machine via cmd it works.

What I did:
- zabbix-agents runs as supplies user
- zabbix server action starts cpau on remote machine to start the process

C:\Scripts\cpau.exe -u domain\supplies -p pass -ex C:\Scripts\GMS_restart_DruckAppServer.cmd

But the process only starts hidden.

you can run remote commands on win server via zabbix_get
for exsample

zabbix_get -s $REMOTESERVERIP -p 10050 -I $ZABBIXSERVERIP-k system.run["ipconfig"]

can download rpm from here :

http://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/2.4/rhel/7/x86_64/

(disable selinux on zabbix so it wont make any issues.)

I am sure if this answere solves my question.

My problem is: When Zabbix triggers an action on my remote server the programm which gets started by the trigger will start, but the GUI of the programm is not visible on the remote server.

What do I have to change that the action starts the programm on the remote user with a visible GUI?

Thanks!
