| <h1 class="topictitle1">Running and viewing commands using the Remote Shell view </h1> |
| |
| <div class="p">You can open a shell for your local and remote systems, from the |
| Remote System Explorer, <p><b>Opening the Remote Shell view and launching |
| a command shell</b></p> |
| <p>In the Remote System Explorer, switch to the Remote Shell view by clicking <b>Window > Show View > Remote Shell</b> from |
| the menu bar. To open a new shell in the Remote Shell view, click the down |
| arrow in the view and select <b>Launch shell</b>. To launch a new shell for |
| another connection requires that an existing shell for that connection is |
| selected in the view. Otherwise, the shell must be launched from the Remote |
| Systems, Remote System Details, or the Remote Shell view.</p> |
| <p><b>Working with shells</b></p> |
| <p> When the Remote Shell view is open, you can work |
| with shells. A shell that |
| preserves its environment across commands. The environment for all commands |
| in the shell may change in response to your input. For example, if you type |
| "cd .." |
| you change the working directory for that shell.</p> |
| <p><b>Viewing output in an editor</b></p> |
| <p>You can double-click a line of output to open |
| it in an editor. For example, if you encounter an error while running a command, |
| you can double-click the error and the editor opens the source to the line |
| of code where the parser found a problem.</p> |
| <p><b>Closing shells</b></p> |
| <p>The <b>Cancel shell</b> toolbar item is enabled when the currently displayed shell or command |
| is active. Press <b>Cancel Shell</b>, to terminate that process. |
| If the shell is active, it cancels the shell before removing it from the view.</p> |
| <p><b>Content assist</b></p> |
| <p>The Remote Shell view supports content assist. You can press CTRL+space to complete file names |
| or environment variable names while you type commands.</p> |
