If it's a console cmd it should run under a term without any problems: $ cmd /c ver Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.17134.471] or you may need to use https://github.com/rprichard/winpty - allows running Windows console programs under mintty or Cygwin's sshd with properly-functioning input and output by starting winpty-agent with a hidden console window, which bridges between the console API and terminal input/output escape codes, polls the hidden console's screen buffer for changes and generates a corresponding stream of output. -- Take care.
