The wall command is great for having the banner to tell me when I've ssh'd in too early. Having the notification come through Slack when everything is finished means I would only need to look once though.

Proposed Slack notification text:

Linux

The setup_spawnhost_coredump script has finished setting things up. Please run

ssh ec2-user@ec2-xx-yy-zz-ww.compute-1.amazonaws.com

to log in.

Windows

Using Cygwin for remote debugging on Windows is strongly discouraged. We should steer Server engineers to use Windows Remote Desktop instead.

The setup_spawnhost_coredump script has finished setting things up. Please use Windows Remote Desktop with

1. PC name: ec2-xx-yy-zz-ww.compute-1.amazonaws.com
2. User account: Administrator
3. The RDP password configured under the edit dialog at https://spruce.mongodb.com/spawn/host

to log in.
