Category Icon   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 and root permissions.

  1. Select a computer list.
  2. Select one or more computers in the Remote Desktop window.
  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 back slash ("\") to begin a new visual line.

  5. Set the user whose permissions are used to execute the command.

    You can choose the currently logged in user, or choose the name of any other user known to exist on the client computers.

  6. Click Send.
