Unix Terminal

Not sure if I am using the Unix Terminal incorrectly, I am looking for an actual Unix terminal session where I can ssh into other servers, run ping, nslookup, create scripts, many other Unix commands that one would normally use Unix for.

Hello,

The current Unix Terminal entry in RDM Windows is our own implementation of a lightweight, local unix shell. If you're looking for a more fully-featured terminal, I would suggest installing WSL (Windows Sub-system for Linux) as that would give you the full feature-set of a unix terminal.

I tried the lightweight, local unix shell, not sure what it can be used for. Any plans to update the functionality, it is very limited?

LUSH (lightweight unix shell) a.k.a. "Unix terminal" is a work in progress, initially created for local use only (basic file manipulation, etc.). The latest version (mark II) now allow scripting, improved substitution and have new command added, type 'help' command to have a complete liste of all aviable commandes, etc... If you want to see specifique commande added please let me know, I will add them to the todo liste of LUSH.

Thx, I am looking for LUSH to be able to
ssh into a server
ping
nslookup
chmod on files
chown on files
Essentially, a built in WSL session but Linux based
Currently I use either WSL or MobaXterm for the Cygwin session
Thank you

I just installed GIT for Windows and was able to create a Command Line session to launch Git Bash within RDM, this will work for me, thx.
