Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Need a help to automate a task Post 302478544 by DGPickett on Wednesday 8th of December 2010 08:14:54 AM

When doing more complex remote things, often you need to dot an environment script on the remote end so that shell is as capable as a login. A .profile that segregates all tty related stuff at the end in an if is the best way to do this.

If you don't want to distribute a remote script to each, something like this is easily tested and predictable for big command sets:
Code:
(
echo '. ./.profile
<commands to generate more commands>
)|ssh user@rem_host ksh
