Windows 10 paste bash commands fails after issuing systemctl command
Anyone with Win 10 able to help solve this issue?
- on notepad write following commands:
echo "BEFORE" # runs
sudo systemctl restart sshd # runs
echo "AFTER" # never runs
- Copy above all 3 lines of text to clipboard and paste it entirely in either "
putty" or built in "ssh" or "ssh from WSL" session to remote linux server. In all cases, while the screen shows that all 3 lines were pasted remotely, after thesystemctlcommand exits successfully, no other pasted command is executed. In above script, the "AFTER" never prints.
Issue: in all cases, the systemctlcommand is issued, but all pasted commands following the systemctlcommand never get executed.

It's not Windows specific. Try using semicolons instead of new lines.
echo "BEFORE"; sudo systemctl restart sshd; echo "AFTER"
I've run into it a lot but I've never sat down to try to figure out the cause. This seems to touch on it and a potential culprit:

@jar Thanks! That sounds just about the right: bug in centos 7.6-7.7 (may affect RHEL 8 too?). Latest comment states that it is already fixed in fedora, scheduled for fix in next RHEL 7/8.
