SSH Console Menu

i am running pfsense 2.5 and have created a new user named proxy with admin membership. However when i ssh into my firewall with that proxy user , there is no menu. Is this expected behavior or am i missing something.

Pls help me getting around this problem.

yes, it is expected, you can call the menu with /etc/rc.initial

@kiokoman Great, but can i make this autorun when ssh connection is established? I want it to be able to autorun with admin members only.

add /etc/rc.initial to the end of /home/proxy/.tcshrc

@kiokoman WoW , Thankyou, Worked like a charm!!!
So that implies if i want to run custom scripts at startup, then /home/proxy/.tcshrc is the way to go.

@Rupesh said in SSH Console Menu:

/home/proxy/.tcshrc

echo /etc/rc.initial >> ~/.tcshrc.local
