# Executing a Single UNIX Command

Using the UNIX Command window, you can send a single command to the selected client computers. The command is executed using the bash shell.

1. Select a computer list in the Remote Desktop window.
2. Select one or more computers in the selected computer list.
3. Choose Manage > Send UNIX Command.
4. Type or paste the command.

   If your command is a multi-line script, enter each command on its own line. If you want to break up a single-line command for better readability, use a backslash (\) to begin a new line.

5. Set the permissions used to execute the command.

   You can choose the currently logged-in user, or choose the name of another user on the client computers.

6. Click Send.
