Getting notification for ssh client connection

Question

I have enabled OpenSSH server as an optional feature of windows 11 (Client not server), I was wondering if there is a way to get notified in the windows notification center when the client is connected?

Answer 1

Hi. Thank you for your question and reaching out.

Consider modifying the notification.

1. To access notifications, go to Start > Settings > System.
2. Attempt one of the following:
   -Toggle notifications, banners, and noises on or off for some or all notification senders by selecting Notifications to expand it.
   -Scroll down and toggle the Windows tips and suggestions on or off.

Answer 2

Find a sample toast notification that works for you and save the Powershell script somewhere.

Navigate to the SSH operational log, pick an event that describes a user logon, right click and select "attach a task to this event". Configure it to run your powershell script and to run as your account and "only when logged on".

If you want more that an a simple 'someone logged on" and you want to include data from the event, then follow these instructions on how to do that.
