I use Cmder to log into SSH with multiple tabs. I always run the same commands on each of them. I tried automating it, but Cmder always tries to run the commands from my local cmd.exe rather than the ssh sessions I currently have open in my tabs. Is there any way to automatically execute commands in these tabs (I have a different set of commands per tab)?
It looks like you just specify the command after the ssh stanza: ssh usr#addr "shell commands here". I've managed to set up the tasks like so:
>* -cur_console:d:"C:\Program Files\cmder" -cur_console:t:"my_log" -cur_console:C:"C:\Program Files\cmder\icons\cmder.ico" %ConEmuDir%\..\git-for-windows\usr\bin\ssh.exe user#addr "tail -n 200 -f /var/log/my_log.log"
You can copy-paste above code within one task definition and it will open multiple tabs ( just change the tab name & bash command).

I am running batch file in Windows environment using PuTTY.exe command below:
for /L %%n in (1,1,5) do (
SET z=Site%%n%
start c:\Users\emrpocadmin\desktop\putty.exe -ssh IPAddress -l User -pw Password -m c:\Users\emrpocadmin\desktop\cmds.txt -load Site%%n%
)
This batch should load variable profiles (n from 1 to 5) predefined in PuTTY and run on them one-by-one the commands defined in cmds.txt file; then save the output to certain folder..
However, in cmds.txt file i could only enter one command!
How can I enter multiple commands on this txt file and it should be passed to the session one by one and then save the whole output results into the output file?
I tried to enter the commands on cmds.txt file as of below formats but does not work:
show run (work as one command only)
show run; show version (does not work)
"show run; show version" (does not work)
echo show run
echo show version (does not work)
The expected result is to enter two or more commands in cmds.txt file and it should be passed to the session one by one and then save the whole output results into the output file.
It's actually a known limitation of Cisco, that it does not support multiple commands in an SSH "exec" channel command.
Quoting section 3.8.3.6 -m: read a remote command or script from a file of PuTTY/Plink manual:
With some servers (particularly Unix systems), you can even put multiple lines in this file and execute more than one command in sequence, or a whole shell script; but this is arguably an abuse, and cannot be expected to work on all servers. In particular, it is known not to work with certain ‘embedded’ servers, such as Cisco routers.
Using Plink (PuTTY command-line connection tool) with an input redirection may solve the problem (you should not use PuTTY to automate command execution anyway).
plink.exe -ssh IPAddress -l User -pw Password -load Site%%n% < cmds.txt
I don't know if that's possible.
I managed to have conemu open two tabs (with a custom name) on startup and cd inside the folders i needs, now my question is:
Is there any way to make conemu open two different tabs in two different windows and position them top-right-corner and bottom-right-corner?
The task i run on startup is the following:
title Website & cmd /k "%ConEmuDir%..\init.bat" && cd c:\src\www
title Other& cmd /k "%ConEmuDir%..\init.bat" && cd c:\src\other
Thanks
As always, read the documentation.
Use -new_console to open a separate window, play with tabs normally. Documentation.
If you’re lucky, the author of ConEmu will notice you and help you out better than I can.
Is there a way with conEmu to by default open a number of different tabs?
I saw this page explaining how to do this with splits,
and I realize I can do Ctrl + T, 1, Enter, but I was hoping there was a way to do this automatically!
"%GIT_HOME%\usr\bin\sh.exe" --login -i -cur_console:t:"repo1":C:"%GIT_HOME%\git-bash.exe":d:"%USERPROFILE%\code\repo1"
"%GIT_HOME%\usr\bin\sh.exe" --login -i -new_console:t:"repo2":C:"%GIT_HOME%\git-bash.exe":d:"%USERPROFILE%\code\repo2"
"%GIT_HOME%\usr\bin\sh.exe" --login -i -new_console:t:"repo3":C:"%GIT_HOME%\git-bash.exe":d:"%USERPROFILE%\code\repo3"
Yes, it is possible but not via the settings Dialog of Conemu. You need a small config file
Create Config File
Go to Conemu installation directory (like C:\Program Files\ConEmu)
Create file startup.txt
List the consoles you want to open at startup. For example
>C:\Program Files\staab\Git\bin\bash.exe
>C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe
will open Git Bash and cmd at startup (in that order). If you want to set the startup directories for each console you can do this too:
>C:\Program Files\staab\Git\bin\bash.exe -new_console:d:C:\example\path
>C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe -new_console:d:C:\other\path
Start Conemu with that config file
Create a new desktop shortcut for the ConEmu64.exe (or ConEmu.exe if you use the 32-Bit version)
Right click > Properties on that shortcut.
Add /cmd #startup.txt to the target
Now you can link that shortcut to your task bar or put it in the autostart folder of your computer to start Conemu with those consoles right after login.
Update 1: Name for Tab
I just found out that you can also set the name of all the tabs on startup :-)
>C:\Program Files\staab\Git\bin\bash.exe -new_console:d:C:\example\path -cur_console:t:NAME_OF_TAB
Update 2: Admin Rights
And this is how you give admin rights to the tabs of your choice:
>C:\Program Files\staab\Git\bin\bash.exe -new_console:d:C:\example\path -new_console:a
Don't use this more than necessary, because you have to confirm admin rights for each window individually.
I have three different commands that I want to execute my running one script,
I created a file called as myscript.bat
I want the following two commands to run in sequence when I run the script:
cd C:\Users\johnDoe\Idea\View\Proxy
node proxy.js
PS:And after that I want the cmd to be left open, not close automatically
Leave the bat file as it is, but run it with cmd /k myscript.bat. Also, if there's a chance of the command window opening by default on another drive, you might want to add the line C: to the beginning of the script to change volumes. cd changes folders within a given volume, but it doesn't actually change volumes.
Alternatively, if you just want the window to stay open so you can read the output, but you don't actually want to run any additional commands in it after your commands finish, you can just add the line pause at the end of the script.
#reirab's answer contains the crucial pointer: use cmd /k to create a console window that stays open.
If you don't want to use cmd /k explicitly - say, because you want to open the batch file from Explorer, you have 2 options:
[Suboptimal] Add a cmd /k statement as the last statement to your batch file.
[Better] Write a wrapper batch file that invokes the target batch file with cmd /k.
For instance, if your batch file is startProxy.bat, create another batch file in the same folder, name it startProxyWrapper.bat, and assign the following content:
#cmd /k "%~dp0startProxy.bat"
When you then open startProxyWrapper.bat from Explorer, a persistent console window (one that stays open) will open and execute startProxy.bat.
How to run multiple dos commands?
I have a for loop, which runs detection of server to detect which server works and is fast. And because there is more servers, I wish not to run all server detections in sequence, but in parallel.
You can execute commands in parallel with start like this:
start "" ping myserver
start "" nslookup myserver
start "" morecommands
They will each start in their own command prompt and allow you to run multiple commands at the same time from one batch file.
I suggest you to see "How do I run a bat file in the background from another bat file?"
Also, good answer (of using start command) was given in "Parallel execution of shell processes" question page here;
But my recommendation is to use PowerShell. I believe it will perfectly suit your needs.
You can execute commands in parallel with start command, like:
start "" ping google.com
But to execute WITHOUT new window, use the /b option, like:
start /b ping google.com -t
start /b ping example.com -t
Moreover, the -t option makes ping repeat infinite times.
Also, try Ctrl + Break if Ctrl + C does not work (but Ctrl+C works for above example).
if you have multiple parameters use the syntax as below. I have a bat file with script as below:
start "dummyTitle" [/options] D:\path\ProgramName.exe Param1 Param2 Param3
start "dummyTitle" [/options] D:\path\ProgramName.exe Param4 Param5 Param6
This will open multiple consoles.
