Description

Starts a process across commandable members of a group using either Client Service machine context or each target's connected Agent user session. Fans out ProcessStart commands to active commandable known group members. SYSTEM no-wait returns per-target launch success/failure and ProcessId where available. SYSTEM /wait suppresses successful stdout/stderr by default while failure details may include snippets. USER is no-wait only; each target must have exactly one eligible connected Agent session. No Agent or multiple Agents are reported per target and do not stop the group command. High blast-radius admin command. /outputlimit, /returnoutput, /output, group /user /wait, group /user /timeout, group /session targeting, /active, /console, username targeting, result streaming, retry logic, and Startup.lvb use are not implemented. Server does not talk directly to Agent. Use carefully across groups.
