Running a program on SSH login
 

Hi folks, this is my first post here on linuxquestions.org, i hope you can help me on this one.

i have sshd on my pc and i want to be able to connect via ssh anywhere, so far everything good. but i also want that when i logon on SSH that a program that i made run automatically.

thanks in advace.

You could add the script to your (bash) profile, probably in your /etc directory. Another way is to use an expect script. There are other ways, but these two are probably the easiest.

Two tips: 1) search LQ for similar questions, as this has been asked before. 2) google your question, because this is fairly basic stuff for ssh.

From man ssh:

~/.ssh/rc
Commands in this file are executed by ssh when the user logs in, just
before the user’s shell (or command) is started. See the sshd(8) manual
page for more information.
