Hi, everyone. I've installed fsh in the outland locker. It keeps an
ssh connection open to a host through which you can subsequently execute
remote commands and scp without waiting for authentication each time.
You have to add the outland locker in your .environment file or its
equivalent for it to work, or otherwise have fsh installed on the remote
machine you intend to use it with.
You use it like this:
athena$ fsh puffin.lcs echo 'hi.'
hi.
athena$ fcp ~/.emacs puffin.lcs:/var/tmp/
<scp output elided.>
athena$
It's a little rough around the edges -- you need to have the machine
you're connecting to in your ~/.ssh/known_hosts file, for instance. But
it looks like it'll be very useful.
Further information can be found in the documentation. Type
add gnu
add outland
info -f /mit/outland/info/fsh.info
to read it.
Alex.
