[DONE] Run script on connect

[sandman42]

Hi,

would it be possible to add a Run command on connect?

This would be useful because I can reach some DBs using an ISDN line, therefore it would be useful for me to have a ping -t destination_ip running.

To make it simple, you may add a way to run a script, and it's up to the user to write it.

Ciao

Hi!

Generally it is an easy to implement feature. We can add extra parameter in connection wizard where custom shell script/command may be specified.
But I do not completely understand how could it be helpfull? Could you explain it a little bit more?

Do you need just ot execute some script and ignore it's execution result?
Or do you need to see a console window with results?
Or you need some interaction with this script?
Or may be such script returns result code which can be analysed..

Thanks!

Ok.
Probably we'll include this feature (in simple form - script execution wihout any interaction) in the following version. I hope it'll be ready this month.

To make something more complex we need more detailed feature requests - I don't think it's a good idea to make features without a confidence that it is really needed by someone

BTW while we have thousands of direct downloads we lack feedbacks (quite common situation in software development). I guess less than 0.5% of people writes anything (bugs or requests) to support even if they really need some features.
So, thanks for request

Scripts execution feature added in 1.4.3.
On second page of connection wizard click on Events button and configure scripts which have to be executed on connect/disconnect.
This feature is not yet fully tested. Next major version will contain fixes and documentation for it.
Samples (for your specific case):
Windows - cmd /C start cmd /C ping -t ${host}
Linux - xterm -e ping ${host}

Note: you may use variables in command line. Currently supported variables: host, port, server. database,user, password, url.
