Syntax
call <command>
Remarks
With SFTP protocol, that does not allow execution of arbitrary remote command, separate shell session will be automatically opened.
The command must not require user input.
It is an error, if the command has any error output, but no standard output. To circumvent that redirect the error output to null (2>/dev/null) or to the standard output (2>&1).
If the command execution takes long, you may hit a session timeout. If you need to execute long-running commands, increase the session timeout using the -timeout switch of the open command.
Alias: !
XML log element: call
Examples
call mysqldump --opt -u USERNAME --password=PASSWORD --all-databases > all_databases.sql
call gzip -c all_databases.sql > all_databases.gz
