WPTerm is an xterm-like plugin. It can be used to run non-interactive shell commands from the WordPress admin dashboard. > Just like a terminal, WPTerm lets you do almost everything you want (e.g., changing > file permissions, viewing network connections or current processes etc). That’s > great, but if you aren’t familiar with Unix shell commands, you can also damage > your blog. Therefore, each time you use WPTerm, please follow this rule of thumb:** > if you don’t know what you’re doing, don’t do it!** #### Compatibility WPTerm is not compatible with Microsoft Windows; it works on Unix-like servers only. Because it makes use of PHP program execution functions such as `exec` or `shell_exec`, it may not be compatible with some shared hosts that have disabled these functions. To make sure your server is compatible, follow these steps: * Download [this script](https://nintechnet.com/bruandet/wpterm-check.txt). * Rename it to “wpterm-check.php”. * Upload it inside your website root folder. * Go to http://YOUR WEBSITE/wpterm-check.php * Delete it afterwards. #### Password Protection You can (and probably should!) password protect the access to WPTerm. Consult the contextual help, or type `help` at the terminal prompt to get more details about how to enable this feature. #### Features * Selectable PHP program execution function to run commands. * Custom fonts family, size and color. * Custom background color. * History and scrollback buffer. * Terminal bell (audible / visible). * Optional password protection. * Contextual help. * Multisite compatible (only accessible to the SuperAdmin). #### Supported Languages * English * French #### Requirements * WordPress 3.3+ * PHP 5.3+ * Unix-like OS (Linux, *BSD etc) only. WPTerm is **NOT** compatible with Microsoft Windows. ## Skermôfbyldings * [[ * Terminal (default colors and welcome message). * [[ * Terminal (custom colors and welcome message). * [[ * Terminal (custom colors and welcome message). * [[ * Password protection. * [[ * Settings (fonts and colors). * [[ * Settings (terminal). * [[ * Contextual help. ## Ynstallaasje 1.

I am use to having ssh access, which allows one to execute shell commands. I found that WPTerm allows me to execute useful shell commands. For example, one can do: ps -u “user” -o user, pid,start,etime,time,nice,vsz,rss,command | egrep ‘PID|php-fpm’ | sed ‘/grep/d’ to get a list of php-fpm processes (Of course, replace “user” with your user id). ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/ba3ac0ea6abc59491f417f08035a13616076e8c4c183586a4d2a3314573966bb? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Fantastic tool](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fantastic-tool-91/)󠁿 [tajensen](https://profiles.wordpress.org/tajensen/) 8 oktober, 2020 I was looking for a way to run WP-CLI commands within WP Admin.
