SecureCRT /S "<path-to-Session> was not found in the session database

[prashant]

Hello there,
I am trying to use SecureCRT from command line. I have checked the forum about issue and found few similar posts but my issue didn't get resolved after implementing the suggested changes.

I am trying to open SecureCRT using command like



CMD Prompt>"c:\Program Files\VanDyke Software\SecureCRT\SecureCR
.exe" /S "C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\VanDyke\Config\Sessions\<session-name>"

But I get the error that session is not found in session Database. I don't understand why. The session file is not present in a sub-folder under "Sessions" folder. I would greatly appreciate any help.

Thanks.
Prashant

Hello Prashant,

You were very close to the answer. SecureCRT knows the configuration folder path so it only needs the path of the session within the Sessions folder. So, remove the following:

C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\VanDyke\Config\Sessions\

Does this command work better?

"c:\Program Files\VanDyke Software\SecureCRT\SecureCRT.exe" /S "Session Name"

Hi Michael,

I have similar problem, i want to run a script that is existed under path for example (Sessions/Customer/A/ABC/Sao Paolo/fw1 (ssh)

When i tried those, i got the error of session was not found in the session database;

SecureCRT /SCRIPT Sessions/Customer/A/ABC/Sao Paolo/fw1 (ssh)
SecureCRT /SCRIPT "Sessions/Customer/A/ABC/Sao Paolo/fw1 (ssh)"
SecureCRT /SCRIPT "Sessions/Customer/A/ABC/"Sao Paolo"/"fw1 (ssh)""

plz advise,
Thanks for your help

AOS,

Are you wanting to run a script, or a session?

The path you're providing looks more like a session path, so maybe you meant session. Assuming you actually meant session, not script, the name of the session is fw1 (ssh) and is located in Sessions/Customer/A/ABC/Sao Paolo, then the way to tell SecureCRT to start the session is:

SecureCRT.exe /S "/Customer/A/ABC/Sao Paolo/fw1 (ssh)"

Is this the information you were looking for?
