Run Shell Script on Remote System
I honestly tried searching for this in this forum and in google. Maybe I found the answer but didn't even realized it.

I would like to run shell script thats on my machine that collects the hostname and IP address from the remote system and sends the output to my machine.

I'm not sure if need to scp the script to the remote system then execute it and have it create a file on the remote system and then scp the output file back????

you can execute a command in remote host using ssh.
You can keep your script in local machine and collect IP, hostname from remote machine using ssh.

Start reading ssh man pages.

Thanks manikantants, I know I will be using ssh but know but I just don't know how to tell an ssh script what is local and what is remote when I type a command.

Also not sure if I can run the script over ssh or I will need to copy it to the run it on the system and then execute it.
