Xshell Forum

Hi,
Does anyone know how to start xshell from the command line in windows and pass an IP address to it so it automatically starts an ssh session to the host?
Thanks
Stuart

Go to Xshell directory and use the following command.

C:\Program Files\NetSarang\Xshell> xshell /url ssh://username@ipaddress:port

Thank you.

Hi!

Is there a way to make xshell reuse the same window and open the session in a new tab? When I do this a new xshell window is opened.

Thanks!

In the current version, a session started from the command line cannot be added to an already open Xshell window. However, we will consider adding it in our next version.

Thank you for using Xshell.

I know that a new session opens in the same Xshell window when you open it from an already open Xshell window, not from the command line or a shortcut icon.

In the current version, a session started from the command line and shortcut icon cannot be added to an already open Xshell window. However, we will consider adding it in our next version.

Thank you for using Xshell.

Hi!

Is it possible yet to reuse an already opened xshell window when starting xshell from the command line? I asked this question a few years ago, and wonder if it has been implemented yet ....

Thanks!

In the latest v4 beta if you launch Xshell from the command line and have the option set to only allow 1 Xshell window it will open that session in a new tab. It does not however bring Xshell windows to the foreground in WIndows 7.

This problem was reported in the previous versions. Please try upgrading Xshell by selecting Check for Update under the Help menu.
