Terminal

When a log shows you something that needs fixing, the Terminal gives you a shell on that server without leaving LogRaker and without logging in again. It opens in a drawer under the logs, on the same SSH connection the server's Streams already use, with the same key or password - so there is no second login and no second trust prompt.

Terminals are for SSH Sources. A Local System Source or a cloud Source has no shell to open, so the command does not appear for them.

Opening a terminal

Right-click an SSH Source in the sidebar and choose 'Open Terminal'.
Right-click one of its Streams in the sidebar, a pane's header in a Layout, or a line in any log, and choose 'Open Terminal on Source'.
In the drawer, press +. The menu lists the SSH Sources on screen first, then every other one under 'All SSH Sources'.

The drawer opens under the logs with a tab for that server, and the keyboard goes to the prompt. To open or put away the drawer itself, choose View ▸ 'Show Terminal' / 'Hide Terminal', press the toolbar's 'Terminal' button, or press ⌃`.

Tabs

Each server gets one tab, with its symbol, its name and an LED: yellow while connecting, green once the prompt is up, red when the connection was lost or the server refused a shell, and gray when the shell exited on its own. Click a tab to switch to it. The bar under the terminal shows who you are logged in as and where, the size of the terminal in columns and rows, and its connection state.

The ✕ on a tab ends that shell and closes the tab. Nothing else does: hiding the drawer, switching to another Layout or Stream, and closing panes all leave every shell running, with its output intact, until you close its tab or quit LogRaker.

When you click into a pane, the drawer switches to that server's tab if it has one. It never opens a shell you did not ask for.

If a shell's connection is lost, its tab stays, with the reason in the bar. Choose 'Open Terminal' on that server again, or pick it from +, to connect anew.

A window of its own

Press Detach in the drawer's bar to move the terminal, tabs and all, into its own window - handy on a second display, with the logs keeping the first. The window is listed in the Window menu. Press Re-attach there, or close the window, to put the terminal back under the window it came from; closing the window hides it there without ending anything.

Every LogRaker window has a drawer: the main window and each Stream, Layout or Monitor you opened in a window of its own. Showing the terminal in one of them moves it there.

Keys, text and size

Keystrokes go straight to the shell. ⌃C interrupts what is running, as it does in Terminal.
The Option key types the characters it types everywhere else on the Mac.
Select text with the mouse and copy it with ⌘C; ⌘V pastes at the prompt.
The terminal uses the same text size as the logs, so Settings ▸ General ▸ Text Size changes both. Drag the divider above the drawer to give it more or less room; its height is remembered per window.

Like Streams, terminals need an active trial or a license.
