Execute Linux/Unix SSH Command

Use the Execute Unix/Linux SSH Command activity to execute the specified SSH command on the target. To run this activity, SFTP and Korn Shell must be configured on the target.

Pipe is not supported by the Execute Unix/Linux SSH Command activity. If you need to execute pipe in an activity, we recommend that you add the pipe in the Execute Unix/Linux SSH Script activity.

For example, you can enter ps -ef in the Execute Unix/Linux SSH Command activity, but if you need to execute ps -ef | grep myusername, use the Execute Unix/Linux SSH Script activity.
