Warning: Remote Commands Security
All commands run from the Remote Commands page are executed as root on minions.
Wildcards can be used to run commands across any number of systems, so always take extra precaution as this may have drastic consequences for your systems.
On the › page you will see two text boxes. The first box is for entering commands. The second box is for targeting minions by name, group, or by using wildcards.
Input a command you want to execute, add a target minion, group, or wildcard you want to execute the command on. Select the button to verify which machines will be targeted. Select the button to execute a command on selected systems.
