The option Remote Control Software call in the client context menu as well as the client main menu (since opsi-configed
version 4.0.1.11) is very powerful. It can be used to use any command that the operating system offers, parametrized
e.g. by the client name.
As an example there are configurations automatically generated which can be used to send a ping to the selected
client: one ping command that works in Windows environment and one command that requires a Linux X environment.
Please observe: opsi-configed calls obviously the command in its environment, i.e., we need the Linux command when
the opsi-configed is running in Linux.
