Method to run a shell script using shortcut key in keyboard with out logging to putty
Dear All,
I want to run a shell script with out logging to putty but configuring it to a keyboard short cut it windows PC. Can this be done? I want this to rename a log in a specified folder in a system
You don't "log to putty", you login to a system using putty as a ssh client (or telnet as it has this as well). And, you can't do anything on a system without logging in with adequate authentication info, which in turn might be sth like a single sign-in or domain auth. setup, though.
What you could do is assign a script or a macro to a "hot key" in putty that would do all this for you.
Unless you are on a *nix like machine, or windows within a cygwin, you wont be able to run the shell script.
You upload the shell script first to the *nix machine.
Then you call your bat file, which calls putty.
But give putty some more args, like -e /remote/path/to/script.
See putty /help for more details (if its -e as well) about execute a command.
-EDIT-
I have solved my problem below by using a different program. Instead of xsel I am using xclip which basically does the same thing and works fine from a script invoked by a global hotkey.

We currently use TUN as an emulation program to connect to various unix applications. I am looking at moving to PuTTY release 0.60 but am getting stuck as one application runs a macro at startup to run a program.
My question is, can you run a macro from PuTTY?
