ssh, cd to a dir, and and then do some work.
I want to do something like
#!/bin/bash
ssh name@computer 'cd /my/dir'
and then continue working in this directory.
Right now if I execute a script "myscript" containing the above, it just drops me back into the bash shell where I started, whereas I want to be able to do work and stuff on this other computer.
I know this command is being execututed because if I change the script to
#!/bin/bash
ssh name@computer 'echo blah > blah.txt'
blah.txt does get created on the remote computer.
So the main question is, how do I keep that remote session open rather than reverting back to my original session.
I tried
./myscript &
but that didn't work.
Obviously this is a pretty simple problem, but I figure if I can get this working I learn something that can be applied to solving more powerful scenarios.
Thanks for your help in advance!

In solaris I can switch to /export/appl/home or /appl/home to get to my home dir. If I switch to /export/apps as oppose to just /apps I see lots of other stuff. Can someone tell me the difference? Thanks (1 Reply)

bup-on
bup-on(1) General Commands Manual bup-on(1)
NAME
bup-on - run a bup server locally and client remotely
SYNOPSIS
bup on <hostname> index ...
bup on <hostname> save ...
bup on <hostname> split ...
DESCRIPTION
bup on runs the given bup command on the given host using ssh. It runs a bup server on the local machine, so that commands like bup save
on the remote machine can back up to the local machine. (You don't need to provide a --remote option to bup save in order for this to
work.)
See bup-index(1), bup-save(1), and so on for details of how each subcommand works.
This 'reverse mode' operation is useful when the machine being backed up isn't supposed to be able to ssh into the backup server. For
example, your backup server can be hidden behind a one-way firewall on a private or dynamic IP address; using an ssh key, it can be autho-
rized to ssh into each of your important machines. After connecting to each destination machine, it initiates a backup, receiving the
resulting data and storing in its local repository.
For example, if you run several virtual private Linux machines on a remote hosting provider, you could back them up to a local (much less
expensive) computer in your basement.
EXAMPLES
# First index the files on the remote server
$ bup on myserver index -vux /etc
bup server: reading from stdin.
Indexing: 2465, done.
bup: merging indexes (186668/186668), done.
bup server: done
# Now save the files from the remote server to the
# local $BUP_DIR
$ bup on myserver save -n myserver-backup /etc
bup server: reading from stdin.
bup server: command: 'list-indexes'
PackIdxList: using 7 indexes.
Saving: 100.00% (241/241k, 648/648 files), done.
bup server: received 55 objects.
Indexing objects: 100% (55/55), done.
bup server: command: 'quit'
bup server: done
# Now we can look at the resulting repo on the local
# machine
$ bup ftp 'cat /myserver-backup/latest/etc/passwd'
root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
