Shell Commands

In the messages or device detail, click the shell icon to open the shell console.

The shell icon that opens the downlink shell console

In the console you can enter single or multiple commands that run the next time CHESTER boots, sends data, or polls the Cloud. You then receive the response of every command back in the console — you don't need to keep the window open. Schedule commands and come back later (even the next day) to see the results.

Any device shell command works here. Some useful ones:
