If you're running it from the tcl console the quartus_sh is not a valid command. Because (*I think) the tcl console in the quartus user interface is actually just the quartus_sh executable running in interactive mode.

To call quartus_sh from the tcl console you could use the exec command.

Following your example

exec quartus_sh -t top_all.tcl 5

Not sure if that is the most elegant solution to your problem. But it should work.

      You may need to run it using command prompt. For best results, run shell commands and Intel® Quartus® Prime executables from a system command prompt outside of the Intel® Quartus® Prime software GUI.
