# Run Commands Remotely

In JFrog Connect, the Command Runner tool provides a simple solution for running commands remotely on your edge devices.

Connect provides several convenient ways to run commands on your edge devices.

* If you want to run several commands in succession, or run a command along with other operations on the edge device, create an [update flow](/features-new-ui/deployments/update-flow.md) that uses the [Run Command](/features-new-ui/deployments/update-flow/step-types/run-command.md) step type in one or more steps.
* If you want to run a single command remotely on multiple devices, you can do it using the Command Runner tool. This page describes how to create and run commands with Command Runner. 

You can create Bash commands, run them on devices you select, and save the commands for later use. After running a command, you will be able to view its output.

By default, Connect runs the commands on your edge device as a Linux root user. If you want the commands to run as non-root, see [Run Commands as Non-root User](/features-new-ui/tools/remote-tools-overview/control-center-remote-ssh-commands/running-commands-as-user.md).

## Enter and Run a Command

To enter and run a command, do the following:

1. Go to **Remote Tools**/**Command Runner** in the left menu and in the **Run Commands** tab, click **Run Command**. The Run Command wizard opens on the right.

3. Using groups and/or additional filters, select the device(s) to receive the command. Click **Next**.
4. View the number of devices affected by the filter you applied. If this does not look right, you can go back and reset your device filter. Once you are satisfied with the filter applied, run the command on the device(s) you have chosen.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.connect.jfrog.io/features-new-ui/tools/remote-tools-overview/control-center-remote-ssh-commands.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
