SSH with putty/plink lands in Linux shell - how to get out?

sirhc says:

"When you SSH into the device you land in the CLI, there is no way to initially land in the Linux Shell (that I know of)"

I have found it real easy to do.

If I use vanilla PuTTy with SSH I have no problems getting to the Netonix shell (I assume this is the correct terminology) - see attachments "PuTTy session start.png" and "PuTTy session log.txt".

However if I use the PuTTy plink command line capability I land in the command line shell and can find no way out - see attachment "plink session log.txt".

How can I use plink to issue Netonix commands to the switch?

BTW the switches port 22 is forwarded to port 23

I am looking at programmatically setting up scripts using plink so this is a major roadblock - any and all help greatly appreciated.

Thanks...

Depends on what you want to do.

There are some limited functions with the switch command.
I'm convinced that netonixctl does more than I've been able to suss, but that is secret sauce...

They won't let you control PoE other than bouncing it which frustrates me to no end but their house their rules.
I've done things with passwordless SSH before with dropbear, but can't find/recall now - maybe search my posts?

On further digging it turns out you can control PoE completely, see:

viewtopic.php?f=8&t=2657&p=18570&hilit=php+poe#p18579

this requires PHP skills which I don't have but in the meantime I have cajoled a member of my development environment of choice - B4X - to enhance a SSH library he developed to do what I want, see:
