First of all, this may seem like a duplicate question but I have searched stack overflow/various other forum sites and still haven't managed to find a solution.
A few example forum posts I have reviewed to prove I've done my research before asking a question:
- https://superuser.com/questions/130443/remotely-run-script-on-unix-get-output-locally
- https://linuxconfig.org/executing-commands-remotely-with-ssh-and-output-redirection

- Run ssh and immediately execute command
- https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/unix-linux-execute-command-using-ssh/
There's hundreds more but I won't include them all.
I essentially need a shell script to open a command prompt on windows, login to a remote linux system and run a command.
I am aware this can be done with the following:
start cmd /k ssh user@host ls
But the problem with the above is that the ssh connection is closed upon completion of the task. I am also aware I can keep the ssh connection open by adding:
bash -l
in some cases.
For my use case, I need to run a launch file for ROS (robot operating system) and for this I need to see the output from the command.
And when attempting to run roslaunch launchFile.launch (in place of ls above):
start cmd /k ssh user@host "roslaunch launchFile.launch"
the command prompt returns
bash: roslaunch: command not found
I've obviously sanitised the specific name of my launch file but
roslaunch launchFile.launch
runs perfectly if I login to the linux PC first:
ssh user@host
then run the command.
I have achieved this exact use case on MacOS but I now need reimplement the same solution on windows:
osascript -e 'tell app "Terminal"
do script "ssh [email protected] \n
roslaunch launchFile.launch"
end tell'
Thanks in advance for any help or advice.

Try this :
start cmd /k ssh user@host "/full/path/to/roslaunch launchFile.launch; exec /bin/bash"
