SSH commands

Popular use cases include pulling changes from a Git repository, performing backups, and running PHP Composer on the server.

You can define multiple lines of commands that altogether will be run as a single script. Configuration is similar to the SFTP action and requires providing server details, authorization data, and the commands to run:

Example workflow with SSH script

Execution mode 1: Run as script

This is the default running mode. You can choose between SH or BASH-specific syntax, and use Buddy variables and parameters in the commands and URLs.

Execution mode 2: Line by line

Upon selecting this mode, the commands will be run in non-interactive mode. This means that:

• Each line is executed in the context of the working directory (default: user’s home dir).
• Lines are executed from top to bottom.
• Each command should be one separate line.
• If a command fails, the next line will not be executed and the action will fail (unless you check ignore errors)- Use absolute paths: the cd command will not be carried to the next line.
• You can use Buddy specific variables and parameters in commands and URL's.
• Environment variables between lines are not shared.
• If you want to use a more complex script, it is advised to call it from the server side (make sure the exit code it returns is correct).
