Improved terminal and power shell interface

26 votes

Problem: When I click out of a system while a terminal or power shell command is running I lose whatever is going on. I can't tell if the command is still running or not.

Desired fix: a pop out window similar to remote control but for the terminal. That way I am able to still navigate and not lose whatever is happening in my terminal session.

100000% agreed. It should essentially act like an actual PowerShell window and let you see previous commands and output in real time as you are working.

Agree. Other RMMs have native Powershell integration that is modeled after an actual Powershell command window in Windows. It's a great user experience.

Yes, an interactive shell that will likely use the remote access module would be nice (like screenconnect) please have this be invisible to the user and run as the admin user account.

What Pulseway offers currently is a far cry from other vendors. I dislike having to use it when I have to. This needs to happen asap.

Very much need this. The interfaces need to be interactive to. One Linux machine I ran a ping on and couldn't stop it without rebooting the machine. Restarting service or disconnecting the terminal did not stop this. Plus the ability to tab and complete your commands is very helpful.

This is something I'd really like to see improved on sooner rather than later, with the following points:
- Native command processing, allowing you to execute a command and receive output as you would expect (Command Prompt, PowerShell, Linux Bash, etc) whether from technician input or running a script within the terminal.
- Allow switching between account context (such as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM, domain\user, .\localuser, etc).
- Ensure Environment Variables are properly read on all OSes (this is something N-Central Take Control does not do).
- Support all Agent supported Operating Systems with the above features upon initial release.

The current implementation is useless. It's hard to believe that such a fundamental feature requires a feature request. Nothing has happened here for 3 years!
