I'm new to terminal scripts and I'm trying to convert 

osascript -e 'tell app "Terminal" 
do script "ssh -t jgreen@dev-jgreen-bs pwd"
end tell'

This works with multiline as so but I want a one-line script, but I can't quite get it right. I keep getting a 2741 error, I know it is syntax I am failing with.

I have tried /, ,, \n,-e,&,to as separators.

You'll need to add a few sections to this one line command:

osascript -e 'tell app "Terminal"' -e 'do script "ssh -t jgreen@dev-jgreen-bs pwd"' -e 'end tell'

Each line in an applescript needs to be broken into sections on a single line osascript command in terminal. You add the "-e" for each section and the single apostrophe.

Hope this helps.

    Does not work for me. I'm getting error -2741: syntax error: Expected end of line but found “script” – Ickata Sep 05 '22 at 15:09
