combined commandes withh SSH
Hi,
on AIX,
is it possible to have more than one commande in ssh instruction ?
For exemple :
ssh user@remoteserver df -k , ls /tmp

If yes what is the correct syntaxe ?
Thank you.

Hi,
the correct syntax is:
Code:
ssh user@remoteserver "df -k; ls /tmp"

The syntax is precisely the same as for running multiple commands in your own shell.

The trick is, the semicolon has to be in quotes, or your own shell will assume it's meant for it and handle it itself! Put it in quotes and it will do what you want, because all the quotes get stripped off of what gets passed into ssh.

Code:
# The shell will see your unquoted semicolon and run command2 itself!
ssh username@host command1 ; command2
# quoting the semicolon prevents the shell from using it
ssh username@host command1 ';' command2
# this will also work
ssh username@host "command1 ; command2"
# If you need something to be in quotes, you have to add an extra layer of quotes like this
ssh username@host command1 ';' command2 "\"stuff in quotes\""
