SecureCRT - Send Input to Multiple Tabs

This SecureCRT feature basically allows you to send input (commands) to multiple tabbed sessions. This is neat, time-saving feature if you have to run the same procedures on a group of servers, e.g. account creation, statistics collection, etc.

For this to work:

  • sessions need to be grouped. Just drag and drop separate session windows into one single tabbed window. OR select a session folder and click on the Connect button to launch all sessions within that folder.
  • chat window nees to be visible. View --> Chat Window

If there is a specific tabbed session that you want to exclude from the input broadcast, just lock them from the File menu or tab menu.

From the chat window, right-click and choose Send Chat to All Sessions. Input/Command is sent to the remote sessions when you press ENTER. You can prepare multiple lines of commands in the chat window by using the CTRL+ENTER key combination.
