Make SSH run a command when a user connects?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
I'm running an openSSH server on my Windows 10 machine. Is there any way to automatically run a command when any user connects? I want a user that connects over ssh to have no choice but to run a specific command when they join.
windows-10 ssh openssh

That’s where I found the answer lol. I was hoping for something just for SSH, not any CMD prompt.

I was able to do this using the registry.
I navigated to HKCUSOFTWAREMicrosoft in regedit and created a key called Command Processor. I then created a new Expandable String Value called AutoRun in that key, and set it's value to a .cmd file. Now whenever a user connects to my SSH server it runs the commands in that file. Note that it will now run these commands whenever you run a batch file! I have it set to only run if it is in the home directory in the .cmd file.
I figured this out from this answer: Automatically executing commands when a command-prompt is opened
