Notepad Configuration

Sample Configuration

The sample configuration below is also available in the [GHOSTS GitHub repository](https://github.com/cmu-sei/GHOSTS/blob/master/src/Ghosts.Client/Sample%20Timelines/clicks

There is currently only one supported command (random) which uses probabilities to write text.

During each activity cycle the handler will:

• Choose action as either delete, create, modify, or view
• if delete, then delete random file from output-directory
• if create, open notepad, add random text, save as random new file to output-directory
• if view, open notepad with existing file from input-directory
• if modify, open notepad with existing file from output-directory, add random text, save
• if create or modify, roll against pdf-probability and do a print to pdf if roll succeeds

For this to work, the default printer must be print to pdf - there is curently no checking is done if the correct printer is not selected.

At end of activity cycle, Notepad is closed.

CommandArgs from Timeline events is not used.
