SSH Tunnel "Post Login" Commands

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Devolutions Support.

You can add a script or macro either before or after the connection by following these steps:

1. Navigate to the 'Properties' of your SSH tunnel entry.
2. Go to the 'Events' tab.
3. Click on 'After Open' or 'Before Open'.
4. Create a script exactly as you would in the terminal to launch the VNC server.

Please don't hesitate to reach out if you need detailed help setting this up or have any other questions.

Best regards,

I tried using an "After open" script, but that seems to execute on the local device not the remote, because it complains that 'x11vnc' is not found; is there a way to execute the script on the remote device?

I also tried using the "After open" typing macro, but it didn't work, and I'm not sure exactly where the "typing" happened!

Thanks.

Hello,

it is possible to execute a command on remote connections using the "Execute the following program after login" option in the program section in the entry properties

Unfortunately this tab is not available for SSH Tunnels:

Hello,

I am very interested in your use case and would like to fully understand your requirements. Would it be possible to schedule a remote session with you? I will send you a link for setting up the appointment via your email.

Best regards,

Hi Carl,

I'm currently traveling and don't have access to my usual setup to show you over a remote session, but I'll try to explain it here.

Basically, I'm trying to replicate the functionality of this command using RDM:
ssh username@remotehost -f -L 5900:127.0.0.1:5900 "x11vnc -localhost"

This command creates an SSH tunnel to 'remotehost' AND also runs the command "x11vnc -localhost" on 'remotehost' (this command can be anything, but in this case it starts the VNC server).

I can create an SSH tunnel using RDM without issues using "VPN/Tunnel/Gateway" entry, or run a command on 'remotehost' using "SSH Shell" entry, but I can't do both at the same time.

It would be great if this "Post Login" feature from "SSH Shell" can be added to "VPN/Tunnel/Gateway":




Thanks.
