Commands and schedules

Commands run shell commands on a server without an SSH session. The agent runs each command on the host as root, with a two-minute timeout. Treat the command field as a root terminal.

Run a command

1. Open Servers, select the target server, and open Commands.
2. Click Run Command and enter the command in the modal.
3. Run the command and follow its status in command history.

Each run records the actor, status, exit code, standard output, and errors.

Commands that look destructive may require an extra confirmation. The confirmation does not restrict what the command can do.

Schedule a command

1. In the server’s Commands tab, click New schedule.
2. Enter the command and choose an interval: hourly, daily, weekly, or a cron schedule.
3. Click Create schedule.
4. After the first run, check its exit code and output in command history.

Scheduled runs appear beside manual runs. Edit or pause a schedule from the dashboard or API. Pausing keeps its configuration and history.

Caution

Command text and output are stored in command history. Don’t put credentials in a command.
