Running commands in Virtualmin
You have full root access to your Accelerator, and SSH will most likely be your first choice for running commands on your container. However, there may be scenarios where it is useful to run commands through Virtualmin. For example, if you need to run a maintenance operation on your server from a third-party computer (a borrowed computer, for example) that doesn't have an SSH installed (such as most Windows PCs, by default).
To run a one off commands from within Virtualmin, do the following:
- Sign in to Virtualmin (see Account Logins and Important URLs).
- Click Webmin in the left-hand navigation, then under System, Running Processes.
- Click Run… (if it isn't already selected)
- In the Command to run field, enter your command.
- Click Run
Or, to display a complete command shell within the browser:
- Click Webmin in the left-hand navigation, then under Others, Command Shell.
- In the Execute command field, enter your command.
- Click Execute command, or press Enter.
