RE: Running a user command instead of shell in sshd

Hi,
I know that if the command name is given while contacting server, it's executed on server.
What if I don't want to specify any command name when running ssh? I just want to do "ssh <IP>" and instead of running shell, a command is excuted on server.
Any links????
Regards,
Anurag

Hi anurag ,

The ssh syntax is this :

ssh username@<machine name of IP> <command to be exceuted at the remote end>

If the command is not given it request for shell.

Sumit

It is refering to an actual scenario when "the client either requests a shell or execution of a command" The case when the client is requesting ae execution command is specified by
the client so you should be using "man ssh" for more info on this feature
which is the encrypted version of the rsh remote commmand execution.
