Context
RG System enhances its RG RMM module with a powerful new feature: remote terminal access directly from the dashboard. With this new capability, users can execute command lines on monitored machines without needing to initiate a remote desktop session.
Access
The terminal can be accessed from:
Select the agent on which you want to open the remote terminal.
In the left-hand menu, navigate to the “Action” section.
Click on “System” to open the remote actions interface for the agent, then click on the “Terminal” tab.
How the Remote Terminal Works
Select an agent from the list of machines.
Go to the Terminal tab in the System menu.
A terminal window will automatically appear and attempt to connect to the remote agent.
After a few seconds, a session opens, ready to receive your commands.
Commands can then be entered and executed as if you were physically connected to the remote machine.
Note: The terminal is stateless, meaning it does not retain history between sessions. Changing the context (agent change/node change) during a session will close the session.
System Compatibility
The terminal automatically adapts to the remote machine’s environment:
| Operating System | Terminal Used |
|---|---|
| Windows (recent version) | PowerShell |
| Windows (older version without PowerShell) | Command Prompt (CMD) |
| macOS | Bash |
| Linux | Bash |
Real-Time Interaction
Each command entered into the terminal returns its result immediately below.
You can chain commands, interact with outputs, and navigate as you would in a local terminal. The experience is smooth and closely resembles a live session on the machine.
Security & Prerequisites
Terminal access is reserved for authorized users with the appropriate permissions in your RG System account.
The target agent must be online and reachable to establish a terminal session.
