Run function from script over ssh (BASH)
Hi,

Is there any cleaver way to run function from the bash scrip over ssh?

For example:

#!/bin/bash
#Function 1
FN1 ()
{
ls -l
}

#Main run
ssh user@host FN1
exit 0

Yeah, I know it will not work, but I'm asking how to make it to work Smilie
I'm suspecting that it would be impossible to do that, but then one never know!

Many thanks in advance!
Cheers
Chris

When you post code, please wrap it in [code] tags.

You must define the function in the remote shell:

Code:
ssh user@host "FN1() 
{
ls -l
}
FN1
"
