Executing a specific command on the server

PuTTY

4.18.1 Executing a specific command on the server

In SSH, you don't have to run a general shell session on the server. Instead, you can choose to run a single specific command (such as a mail user agent, for example). If you want to do this, enter the command in the ‘Remote command’ box.

Note that most servers will close the session after executing the command.
