NDM - How to Use Remote Execute
If you need to execute a more advanced command or a script, or even apply commands that are not currently available on the NDM+ interface, using the “Remote Execute” command (found under Repositories Actions) is the best answer.
The Remote Execute functionality essentially acts as a user interface for running ADB commands/scripts on your displays.
Creating a New Command
Warning! You are able to run the commands with high local device privileges, so please use this functionality only if you are familiar with writing batches/scripts and you know what you are doing.
On the left side main menu, click on “Repositories” (the clipboard icon) and from the dropdown menu select “Remote Execute”. A new window will open, showing a list of existing commands and bundles.
Alternatively, you can select a panel from your console -> Repositories Actions -> Remote Execute
Click on the "Add New" button in the bottom left of the above window to add a new command.
After this, set a descriptive name that details what actions the Remote Execute command will perform.
