## Execution Methods

nxc has three different command execution methods:
nxc has four different command execution methods:

* `wmiexec` executes commands via WMI
* `atexec` executes commands by scheduling a task with windows task scheduler
* `smbexec` executes commands by creating and running a service
* `psexec` executes commands relying on the original PsExec.exe signed binary from Microsoft

By default nxc will fail over to a different execution method if one fails. It attempts to execute commands in the following order:

1. `wmiexec`
2. `atexec`
3. `smbexec`

If you want to force nxc to use only one execution method you can specify which one using the `--exec-method` flag.
If you want to force nxc to use only one execution method you can specify which one using the `--exec-method` or the `-em` flags.
