Network shell script to run after ssh logout from another machine
Scenario:
I currently manager a cluster at work which is on a private network and i constantly need to ssh to other clients for diags e.t.c. I created a debain client which i use as my gateway to get to all the clients on the private network and I then created a Shell menu script which will make it easier for me to access all the clients, get diags...e.t.c

I have managed to get the script to work (by putting it in the .bashrc) to run every time the "test" user logs in which is good. I use this machine to ssh to other machines too...

so my problem:
Is it possible to have this script run when i exit a ssh session from another client back into this debian machine? i.e

client a = my machine
client b = gateway machine to private network with menu script
client c,d,e = private network clients

client a will ssh to client b (as test) - menu loads. I select option 1 to ssh to client c, do some stuff and exit client c back to client b. This currently gets me to a bash prompt - I want this to load the menu again so i can easily do other things rather than manually loading the menu again. (hope that makes sense)

is that possible?

Please, show us your script code from .bashrc

This is the menu i'm using:

.bashrc
Code:
./login.sh

Code:
#!/bin/bash

clear # Clear the screen.

echo "          SSH to a client"
echo "          ------- ----"
echo "Choose one of the following clients:"
echo
echo "[1] management"
echo "[2] Node1 "
echo "[q] Quit  "
echo

read client

case "$client" in
"1" )
echo
echo "You have chosen to ssh to management - Wait..."
echo
ssh user@<ipaddress>
;;

"2" )
echo
echo "You have chosen to ssh to Node1 - Wait..."
echo
ssh user@<ipaddress>
;;

"Q" | "q" )
echo
echo "Exiting to console prompt - Wait..."
echo
exit 0
;;

* )
echo
echo "Invalid option selected - exiting to console...."
echo
;;

esac

exit 0

Something like that ?
Code:
#!/bin/bash

clear # Clear the screen.

while :
do

echo "          SSH to a client"
echo "          ------- ----"
echo "Choose one of the following clients:"
echo
echo "[1] management"
echo "[2] Node1 "
echo "[q] Quit  "
echo

read client

case "$client" in
"1" )
echo
echo "You have chosen to ssh to management - Wait..."
echo
ssh user@<ipaddress>
;;

"2" )
echo
echo "You have chosen to ssh to Node1 - Wait..."
echo
ssh user@<ipaddress>
;;

"Q" | "q" )
echo
echo "Exiting to console prompt - Wait..."
echo
break
;;

* )
echo
echo "Invalid option selected - exiting to console...."
echo
;;

esac

done
exit 0
