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).
Alias: !
XML log element: call
