File Manager: Command line

[iliajie]

It would be great to have command line interface in File Manager, just the same way it's done in Midnight Commander or Double Commander.

[iliajie]

It's no use having command line only in File Manager.

Version 18.30 will have drop-down console, like Guake Terminal.

It will port functionality from shell module. In case it's available it will work (having the same or a little enhanced functionality).

It will be callable by the hotkey (default is Alt+K) and dismissed by just hitting escape key or typing exit. History will also work by using up/down arrow keys. History will be able to be cleared by hitting while in shell Alt+L

The previously enrolled support for calling the command from the search bar by using !command will be passed to the new drop-down console and opened there instead of going to the module.

Here is the little teaser.

Please share your thought before the release.

[iliajie]

Enrolled additional commands clear, reset, history and history -c. Hotkey Alt+L will clear console in case it's opened.

[iliajie]

Edit:

Hotkey Alt+K will clear console in case it's opened.

[iliajie]

Edit:

History will be extracted from the shell modules (either Webmin or CM/save_serv.cgi?id=xx&shell=1) and stored. It will provide support for usage with multiple servers.

Finally default keys for bringing up the shell is:

Alt+K

and for clearing shell:

Alt+L

This seems to give the user root access .. When I type whoami is get "root". Is there any configuration for this?

[iliajie]

That wouldn't be possible. It's just a port of shell module.

[iliajie]

Configuration in Command Line module.

Take a look at this:

I'm root but logged in as ryan.

Do you mean command shell program?

[iliajie]

What does it mean you are root but logined as ryan? Try running the same command under Command Line module. What is the output? It will be the same anyway.

[neubreed]

I've logged into webmin as normal user "ryan". When I use the command shell and type whoami I get root .. I can cd into /root/ and can delete files. Maybe this is not an issue for Authentic Theme. What do you get when you type whoami on your system?

[iliajie]

When I get home, I'll let you know.

Hi,

I tried it under user account (in Usermin) and it returns the correct username.

I think you miss-configured your ACLs.

[neubreed]

Oh ok .. I haven't tried in usermin. what do you get in webmin?On 8 Dec 2016 6:57 p.m., Ilia Rostovtsev <notifications@github.com> wrote:Hi, I tried it under user account (in Usermin) and it returns the correct username.

Hello, may I know why CLI doesn't run something like htop and other?
eg. Error opening terminal: unknown. OR for top TERM environment variable not set.
? root on CentOS 7

[iliajie]

Yes, because it's not interactive terminal yet. I guess we need to switch to using sockets for webserver. Theme just extends the functionality of Command Line module and it's not yet interactive.
