CLI Notes

Running Commands

There exist a few ways to issue CLI commands in ScreenConnect / Connectwise Control.

  • Right-Clicking on a session and choosing 'Run Command'
  • Clicking on the 'Commands' icon in the right-hand panel
  • Right-Clicking on a session, selecting 'Join With Options' and then selecting 'Backstage'

Normal (CMD) style commands do not require anything other than the command itself to be issued. Powershell commands require being prefaced with one of the two listed examples:

  • #!ps
  • powershell

Timeouts

Commands may time out if running for too long. The default time-out value can be overridden by using

#timout=90000

replacing 90000 with the desired interval.

Truncated Output

The output from a command may be truncated, but can be extended by overriding the default using

#maxlength=1000000

replacing 1000000 with desired output length.

Example of Pre-Pended Options

#!ps
#timeout=90000
