ssh with command....Plus the shell
openssh, rxvt, shell, ssh
Solution
Variation on the other answers really, use the -t option of ssh to force pseudo-tty allocation:
ssh -t me@machine ./executeMyScript '&&' bash -i
Problem
I'd like a command that ssh'es into a machine, runs a command (cd or execute a script or su), and then gives me the shell. Passing a command to ssh seems to always exit. Some examples of what I'm looking for: 'ssh me@machine1 "./executeMyScript && cd /developmentDirectory"' and then it gives me my shell back. The reasons I want to do this is because I'm using mrxvt (tabbed x terms) which allows me to define commands for all of my tabs to execute on startup. I'd like to have a few ssh connections to the same machine but have them do different things after sshing. -Rob Thanks!
