Windows SSH monitoring method - SiteScope

[Rodriguez19]

Hello Experts,

I'm currently monitoring a windows server with SSH method, copssh was installed on the server as shown in the following link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-P8V1V4bMI, however when generating a script monitor (Command '' tasklist 'windows) which the .txt file contains the command' 'tasklist | sort / r / +65 '' which is required to sort the processes with greater use of memory to lower memory usage, the command is not recognized as such, it was necessary to change the '' / '' by '' - '' and the last parameter ''/+65''  was not recognized neither with the change of ''/'' by ''-''. I've noticed that this monitor windows script also accepts linux commands, I wonder if there is any way to maybe add a package to copssh software, so that accepts all Windows commands  such as in a cmd window? 

Thanks for any suggestions,

Hi,

COPSSH is based on Cygwin and when logging in to your Windows system via SSH by default COPSSH will use /bin/bash as the login shell. Which is a Unix environment.

Your sort most likely fails because your default path (within bash) points to the Unix version of the sort command.
You may try something like to following to make your commands operate in the windows CMD environment:

            cmd /C "tasklist | C:\Windows\System32\sort.exe /r /+65"

Best Regards
