# 2.18 - Command Line Script Type Command Line Script Type — Appvance IQ documentation. # Command Line Script Type Reference Use this article when a scenario or service workflow needs to run an approved command-line script type in a controlled AIQ execution environment. ## What changed in this article - Scoped command-line script execution as a controlled capability, not a generic shell-execution recommendation. - Added checks for script ownership, execution host, working directory, arguments, environment variables, timeout, exit code, stdout, stderr, and least privilege. - Added warnings to avoid secrets in command arguments or output logs. ## Validation workflow 1. Confirm the command-line script is approved and safe for the target execution host. 2. Validate path, arguments, permissions, timeout, expected output, and failure behavior in a small run. 3. Review exit code, stdout, stderr, and AIQ logs before using the script in a shared or scheduled workflow. **Review note:** This page now aligns with the Service Suite command-execution cleanup from earlier batches. --- Last updated: October 5, 2026 If you have feedback on this topic, contact .
