executing .profile with ssh
Hi, How do I get all my profile settings when connecting with ssh?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
are you using a remote account or are you accessing your own machine?? secondly are you trying to access it or perform a command line function.. if you are using ssh on a remote account try the "nano" edittor for editting profile file (pico).. if you are accessing your own machine just use any edittor as you would if you were on your machine... .... but if you want to perform a command line execution try rcp (man rcp) to simply send a commad to your machine or a remote machine on the command line envoking rcp and the command that you wish to excute and that should save you the hassle of having to get into your account and fiddle about..

ps .hope that!! helps
re:edit.
if you are trying to transfer your setting from one machine to another copy your profile file and ftp it... again you can use ssh or use rcp.

ssh-copy-id
SSH-COPY-ID(1) General Commands Manual SSH-COPY-ID(1)
NAME
ssh-copy-id - install your public key in a remote machine's authorized_keys
SYNOPSIS
ssh-copy-id [-i [identity_file]] [user@]machine
DESCRIPTION
ssh-copy-id is a script that uses ssh to log into a remote machine and append the indicated identity file to that machine's ~/.ssh/autho-
rized_keys file.
If the -i option is given then the identity file (defaults to ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub) is used, regardless of whether there are any keys in your
ssh-agent. Otherwise, if this:
ssh-add -L
provides any output, it uses that in preference to the identity file.
If the -i option is used, or the ssh-add produced no output, then it uses the contents of the identity file. Once it has one or more fin-
gerprints (by whatever means) it uses ssh to append them to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the remote machine (creating the file, and directory,
if necessary.)
NOTES
This program does not modify the permissions of any pre-existing files or directories. Therefore, if the remote sshd has StrictModes set in
its configuration, then the user's home, ~/.ssh folder, and ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file may need to have group writability disabled manu-
ally, e.g. via
chmod go-w ~ ~/.ssh ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
on the remote machine.
