Tab Scripting With SecureCRT® 5.2 and Later
Note: This tip is for use with SecureCRT for Windows®.
SecureCRT 5.2 and later supports scripting functions to control multiple tabbed sessions
from a script. Tabs functions allow scripts to connect Secure Shell command
and SFTP tabs, clone tabs, activate tabs, and close tabs. Examples of
common application are opening multiple tabbed sessions in a specific
order, and prompting for a command and sending it to multiple tabbed sessions.
Below are sample scripts written in VBScript demonstrating each of the
tab functions.
| ActivateTab.vbs |
Opens a specified session as a tab and brings it to the foreground |
| CloneTab.vbs |
Takes a session window and creates a duplicate (clone) window |
| CloseTab.vbs |
Opens a specified session as a tab and then disconnects the session |
| ConnectSFTPTab.vbs |
Connects to a defined session and then opens an SFTP tab window
for that session |
| DisconnectTab.vbs |
Opens a session in a tab and then disconnects it |
| SendToAll.vbs |
Takes a command and sends it to all open tabs |
The above scripts use the following tab-specific script functions:
crt.Session.ConnectInTab()
crt.GetTabCount()
crt.GetTab()
objTab.Activate()
objTab.Clone()
objTab.Close()
objTab.ConnectSftp()
objTab.Index()
objTab.Caption()
objTab.Session.Disconnect()
objTab.Session.Connected()
objTab.Screen.Send()
You can find more information about the Tab object in the SecureCRT Help files under Scripting / Script Objects Reference / Tab Object.
