Ping Device This option performs a ping test to verify if a device is reachable
before it runs a task against it. This option can be used when
using $IP or $RAC_IP and it decreases the time it takes to run
the task(s) as it skips unreachable devices.

standard output from the running application and writes it to
the log file. If you select this option, you must enter the path
name and file name of the log file. This option is disabled by
default.
Append Select this option to continue writing to the same file if you run
a task multiple times.
Include errors Select to write all OpenManage Essentials-detected errors to
the log file. For example, if no response is received to a ping
request before the execution of the command, an error is
written to the log file.
