The Action Control function provides APIs for executing and managing actions. If a program is created using these APIs, actions can be executed from the program. Adding this program (created using the action control APIs) to the Jobscheduler as a job makes it possible to perform operations such as scheduling actions, or notifying the system administrator by short mail when jobs terminate abnormally.
The following APIs are provided by the Action Control function.

This API notifies events by reading messages out loud (text-to-voice), playing WAV files or sounding beeps.
Audio pause
This API stops audio notification.
Pop-up message display
This API sends pop-up messages to domains, hosts or users.
