The web interface has a web shell that makes it convenient to run command line tools from the web browser as the root user.
The prompt shows that the current user is root@truenas, the host name is truenas, and the current working directory is ~, where root is the user, truenas is the home directory of the logged-in user, and the sysmbol between the square brackets is the working directory.
The Shell screen includes three UI elements:
{{< truetable >}}
| UI Element | Description |
|---|---|
| Set font size slider | Adjusts the size of text displayed in the shell main area. |
| RESTORE DEFAULT | Resets the shell font and size. |
| ? | Displays the shell tooltip with helpful information about the screen. For example, CTRL+C kills a foreground process. It also lists built-in utilities such as: Iperf, Netperf, IOzone, arcsat, tw_cli, MegaCli, freenas-debug, tmux, and Dmidecode. |
| {{< /truetable >}} |
