Windows terminal profile to run a command on start?

[Helpful Tech Witch]

Ive recently installed windows terminal on my main maching, and its great. Tabs, multiple command lines (WSL!!) in the same window, its all amazing!

I use SSH to connect to my rpi a lot, and it would be a lot easier to have command prompt run ssh user@ip on opening of RPI profile, but just having it run  

"cmd.exe 'ssh user@ip'" 

doesnt worrk and spits an error.

cmd.exe 'ssh user@ip'

doesnt do anything.

How would I achieve this?

Try using:

cmd.exe /k "ssh user@ip"

 

If you've set up a custom SSH port, you'd need to also specify it here as:

cmd.exe /k "ssh user@ip -p port"

 

Should look like this in your profile (minus all the German text )

EDIT: Forgot to mention, at least on my machine, that field tends to not like manually entering the @ symbol, so copy the entire command you intend to use and just paste it, that way it should work, if you're experiencing the same silly behavior.

Just type out the ssh command without cmd.exe infront of it for the commandline option. How I ssh into my pi
