Xshell can understand the following command line parameters:
SYNOPSYS xshell [OPTION]...[FILE] EXAMPLE: xshell -newwin $SESSION_PATH$ OPTIONS -folder $FOLDER_PATH$: Opens all session in the $FOLDER_PATH$ folder. -newwin [protocol://][user[:password]@]host[:port] -newwin $SESSION_PATH$ Creates a new connection in the new Xshell window -URL [protocol://][user[:password]@]host[:port] Start a connection with URL. Example: xshell -url ssh://user1:password@192.168.1.17:22 -open Open the sessions dialog box. Example: xshell -open -register Open the product key registration window. Example: xshell -register -about Open the Xshell about window. Example: xshell -about -prop $SESSION_PATH$ Open the session properties dialog box. Ex: xshell -prop $SESSION_PATH$ -create $SESSION_PATH$ Create a new session. Example: xshell -create $SESSION_PATH$ -newtab $NAME$ Assign the tab $NAME$. Example: xshell -newtab "new tab"
For example, if you want to connect to the server, 192.168.10.100 with user name, root and password, passwd, you would use the following command:
Xshell -url ssh://root:passwd@192.168.10.100 (The -url parameter can be omitted in Xshell v5)
This opens the session in the last Xshell window that you interacted with.
If you want to open the session in the new Xshell window, you would use:
Xshell -newwin ssh://root:passwd@192.168.10.100
