Thanks folks. Some of this made it into the script and it works perfectly.

There is one outstanding issue which I can't find a way around. I thought it would be great if the ssh session could open with sudo su, it's not a work network, and also changing directory to where I do most of my work.

After blooming hours of trying all sorts of different things I got the sudo working, but concatenating another command gets ignored.

Obviously I'm opening another shell and any commands still in the original script aren't going to get to the new shell, what I don't understand is I can send a command with ssh, but I can't send two, I just can't see any bash reason why it wouldn't work.

Code:
sh="ssh -t"
command="user@192.168.xxx.xxx"
sud="sudo su"
run="$sh $command $sud"
exec $run

This works great, but it would be even better if after the sudo I could be dumped into a directory that I use a lot. But;
sud="sudo su; cd /usr/folder/folder"
Doesn't work. The sudo runs ok but the cd is ignored.

I'm trying to understand why. As I said I know I'm opening another shell and the script can't communicate with it directly, but if sudo su works why does the cd go missing?

Thanks again everyone, nothing here is work related or that important, but I'm enjoying the learning bit!!

csp_helper(1)							  USER COMMANDS 						     csp_helper(1)

  NAME
      csp_helper - A collection of caspar helper scripts

  SYNOPSIS
      csp_install dir (directory) file (file)

      csp_mkdircp dir (directory) file (file)

      csp_scp_keep_mode h ([user@]host) dir (directory) file (file)

      csp_sucp h ([user@]host) dir (directory) file (file)

  DESCRIPTION
      The  scripts  csp_install,  csp_mkdircp,	csp_scp_keep_mode  and csp_sucp are helpers for caspar(7). These scripts typically are not invoked
      directly, but via a Makefile which uses caspar. See the notes on	csp_PUSH  in  caspar(7)  for  information  on  how  to	link  csp_install,
      csp_scp_keep_mode and csp_sucp to caspar.

  install DESCRIPTION
      csp_install creates the required directory (if needed) and installs the file, preserving timestamps. It uses install(1).

  install EXAMPLES
       csp_INSTALL_OPTIONS='--owner=www-data --group=www-data' 
	csp_INSTALL_MODE=ugo=r 
	csp_install /srv/www index.html

       csp_INSTALL_MODE=u=rwx,go= csp_install /usr/local/sbin mkpasswd

  install ENVIRONMENT
      csp_install honors csp_INSTALL_OPTIONS and csp_INSTALL_MODE (default is u=rw,go=r).

  mkdircp DESCRIPTION
      csp_mkdircp calls mkdir(1) and cp(1).

  scp_keep_mode DESCRIPTION
      csp_scp_keep_mode  uses  ssh to copy a file to a remote host, keeping its file permission mode. The trick used is a combination of mktemp(1)
      and mv(1).  Useful if you'd like to be sure a file gets installed e.g. group writable, without fiddling with permission bits on  the  remote
      host.

  scp_keep_mode EXAMPLE
	chmod g+w rc
	csp_scp_keep_mode root@gandalf /etc/uruk rc

  scp_keep_mode ENVIRONMENT
      csp_scp_keep_mode honors csp_SSH ("ssh" by default).

  sucp DESCRIPTION
      csp_sucp calls cat(1) from within sudo(1) from within ssh(1). This allows one to copy files to accounts on hosts one can only reach by call-
      ing sudo on the ssh-reachable remote host.

      Typically, one wants to install a root-owned file, but one does not want to allow access to the root-account directly  from  ssh.  Typically
      sudo is used as an extra line of defense.

  sucp EXAMPLES
      Some examples:

	csp_sucp rms@bilbo /etc fstab

	csp_sucp monty-python commit/ trailer.txt

  sucp BUGS
      If  NOPASSWD  is	not  set in the sudoers(5) file, and one's timestamp is expired, csp_sucp will forward the sudo password prompt. The given
      password will be echoed on the console!
