What kind of capability do I need in order to execute a bat file from bamboo remote agent

Question

I have a bat file located in a remote agent running on windows server.  I was trying to add a plan to execute that bat file from the bamboo dashboard.

I added a command in the taskes, but not sure what kind of executable I need to add into the agent capability in order to run this bat file.

You need to add jython.jar to classpath in your batch file.

I tried but got the following errors in the log.  When I run the same bat file from the remote client directly, it is okay.

Add a Script Task, and set the path there. No further configuration is needed.
