Run shell command remotely

[bdaniel7]

Hi,

I need to remotely and automatically run a shell command on the pfsense machine; is it possible?
I was thinking to use plink but i can't pass by the menu that it appears at login via ssh.
Also I considered using the "Command prompt" option but I can't automatise it.

Thanks,
Dan

When using ssh, login as "root" and not "admin" – you can then bypass the menu and run commands directly.

ssh from a UNIX system will work, and on Windows plink works too, like so:

C:\Program Files\PuTTY>plink -ssh -pw pfsense root@192.168.1.1 "cat /etc/version"
1.2.3-RELEASE
