Mobaxterm, "Execute Command" Configuration

luisascoobydoo picture luisascoobydoo · Oct 12, 2017 · Viewed 8k times · Source

I have a to ask about Mobaxterm, I see that I can configure to my sessions, commands in the field execute command on the settings, but I can't send an enter. I need to execute commands like a cd, or an sh, and also send an enter, but the system don't get any of my options like a \n or \r\n or other that I've found on the web.

There is a way to configure the mobaxterm like the secure CRT, where I can send commands and enter, or expect some text and send the next command?

From the MobaXterm User Manual entry about Execute Command:

Specified command will be executed on the remote server after connect. You can specify multiple commands and separate them with ";" or "&&".

For instance:

pwd; ls -al; date; uname -a

This should be enough for simple commands, like ls, cd, ... For more complex uses ("expect some text"), I suggest to write a (Unix format) script and invoke it launching MobaXterm with

MobaXterm <script_file>
