How to activate Linux Live Terminal

The terminal is a text-based application that operates through commands, offering a command-line interface (CLI) to manage and execute tasks on systems. It allows users to execute commands and modify system characteristics directly.

Hexnode UEM enables remote access to a device’s terminal, even on Linux. With the linux live terminal feature, you can interact with the terminals of all connected devices, executing commands in real-time. The live terminal offers the familiar Linux terminal interface with instant command responses for a device but remotely from the Hexnode UEM console.

Note:

  • This feature is supported on Debian, Fedora and Ubuntu distros in Linux.
  • In case if the device has a Web content filtering policy associated, ensure that https://*.hexnodemdm.com is also added in the allowlisted websites.
