In the Prompt tab, you can specify login prompts and shell command prompts for a remote host.

When you click Run on Xstart, it tries to log on to a remote host followed by searching for a shell prompt to run a command.

The logon step requires the user to enter a user name and a password. Most Unix systems are using "login:" and "Password:" to prompt the user to enter account information. Xstart allows you to specify the prompt strings for the hosts having different prompts. Logon prompts are used only for TELNET and RLOGIN protocols.

After a successful logon step, Xstart tries to find a shell prompt such as "$" or "#". If a shell prompt is found, it sends the command you entered in the Execution Command box. Shell prompt is used when TELNET or RLOGIN protocol is selected, also when SSH protocol is configured to run a shell.

Enter a string for a user name prompt. Once the string is received from the remote host, Xstart recognizes it as a user name prompt. You can specify multiple tokens by separating them with the bar (|) characters.

Enter a string for a password prompt. Once the string is received from the remote host, Xstart recognizes it as a password prompt. You can specify multiple tokens by separating them with the bar (|) characters.

Enter a string for a shell prompt. Once the string is received from the remote host, Xstart recognizes it as a shell prompt. If a shell prompt is found, Xstart sends a command to the remote host. You can specify multiple tokens by separating them with the bar (|) characters.

Select this option when the shell prompt is not clear or interferes with other messages. Once this option is selected, Xstart does not try to find a shell prompt. Instead it sends the command immediately after the specified time interval.
