Passing SSH Command Parameters

On Solaris 5.9, is there any way to pass parameter(s), via SSH, to a command defined in the remote host's authorized_keys file?

We have a menu that uses SSH to control some apps on our various hosts. I've been tasked with enhancing it and making it more secure.

So far, the local host menu will use SSH to call a .ksh script on the remote host, with one of 4 parameters, to either start, stop, restart or check a program's status. That works fine.

What we would like to do is this:

1. Put the remote .ksh script name in the authorized_keys file, on the remote host, in the front of the key line, for the user calling it, from the local host. That would limit the user, using the menu, to only being able to run this .ksh script.

2. When the user make a choice on the local host menu, pass only the chosen parameter via the SSH login.

When I try it, the remote .ksh script runs, but errors out due to the parameter passing failing.

Is there any way to pass just the parameter(s)?

I'm trying to run a command over ssh to AIX 5.2, something like: ssh machine ls but it just hangs. I can ssh into the machine and run a command, but can't pass it like above. Is there a security setting that disables this by default? If so, how do I change it? Thanks!

libssh2_channel_forward_listen_ex(3)				  libssh2 manual			      libssh2_channel_forward_listen_ex(3)

NAME

       libssh2_channel_forward_listen_ex - listen to inbound connections

SYNOPSIS

       #include <libssh2.h>

       LIBSSH2_LISTENER * libssh2_channel_forward_listen_ex(LIBSSH2_SESSION *session, char *host, int port, int *bound_port, int queue_maxsize);

       LIBSSH2_LISTENER * libssh2_channel_forward_listen(LIBSSH2_SESSION *session, int port);

DESCRIPTION

       Instruct  the  remote  SSH  server  to  begin listening for inbound TCP/IP connections. New connections will be queued by the library until
       accepted by libssh2_channel_forward_accept(3).

       session - instance as returned by libssh2_session_init().

       host - specific address to bind to on the remote host. Binding to 0.0.0.0 (default  when  NULL  is  passed)  will  bind	to  all  available
       addresses.

       port - port to bind to on the remote host. When 0 is passed, the remote host will select the first available dynamic port.

       bound_port - Populated with the actual port bound on the remote host. Useful when requesting dynamic port numbers.

       queue_maxsize - Maximum number of pending connections to queue before rejecting further attempts.

       libssh2_channel_forward_listen(3) is a macro.

RETURN VALUE

       A newly allocated LIBSSH2_LISTENER instance or NULL on failure.

ERRORS

       LIBSSH2_ERROR_ALLOC - An internal memory allocation call failed.

       LIBSSH2_ERROR_SOCKET_SEND - Unable to send data on socket.

       LIBSSH2_ERROR_PROTO - An invalid SSH protocol response was received on the socket.

       LIBSSH2_ERROR_REQUEST_DENIED - The remote server refused the request.

       LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN - Marked for non-blocking I/O but the call would block.
