Share your External Apps!

[luma]

One great feature of mRemoteNG is the ability to launch and/or integrate external applications. Let's share handy application definitions that you've discovered. Here's some of mine:

Application: Windows Computer Manager
This will let you launch the Windows Computer Management MMC against the selected host. This MMC will let you view event logs, manage users, configure disks, manage services, and a whole bunch more.
Filename: C:\windows\system32\compmgmt.msc
Arguments: /Computer=%Hostname%

Application:
Zenmap is a GUI front-end for nmap. This is the standard port-scanning tool in use by anybody who knows the difference. Gives you all sorts of detail you won't find in the built-in port scanning tool.
Filename: C:\Program Files\Nmap\zenmap.exe
Arguments: -p "Quick scan plus" -t %Hostname%

Application:
WinSCP is a great, free GUI Secure Copy program.
Filename: C:\Program Files\WinSCP\WinSCP.exe
Arguments: scp://%Username%:%Password%@%Hostname%/

Application:
Free and open source FTP client for most platforms.
Filename: C:\Program Files\FileZilla FTP Client\filezilla.exe
Arguments: ftp://%Username%:%Password%@%Hostname%

Application:
Same as above, but using the Secure FTP (SFTP) protocol.
Filename: C:\Program Files\FileZilla FTP Client\filezilla.exe
Arguments: sftp://%Username%:%Password%@%Hostname%

Application: VMware Virtual Infrastructure Client
This is specific to anybody managing a VMware vSphere or ESX environment. This will launch the VI client against the selected host. If the host is an ESX server, it will simply connect to the ESX server. If the host is a Windows machine running vCenter, it will attach to the full vCenter environment.
Filename: C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\Virtual Infrastructure Client\Launcher\VpxClient.exe
Arguments: -s %Hostname% -u %Username% -p %Password%

Application: Firefox
I personally don't like the browser integration in mRemoteNG. It doesn't allow me to use all of my Firefox plugins. Therefore I just use a an external app to launch websites.
Filename: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe
Arguments: %Hostname%

Application: Ping
It's ping, needs no explanation
Filename: cmd
Arguments: /c ping -t %HostName%

Application: Traceroute
Again, no explanation needed...
Filename: cmd
Arguments: /c set /P = | tracert %HostName%

Application: Cygwin
What's better than managing all kinds of remote servers with mRemoteNG? Locally managing with mRemoteNG of course! Just install Cygwin and the mintty.
Filename: C:\cygwin\bin\mintty.exe
Arguments: -

re: launching VMWare-- have you had any luck integrating VMWare client vs. just launching it? If so, please clue me in!

Thanks,

OK, got it... I was afraid that I'd just missed something!

Thanks!

you can do cmd.exe and then use /k "yourapp.exe -p arameters" to keep the command line window open after your app finishes..
