How to start SSH server from cmd line?
 

I need to grab some log files because I am having problems with X starting. How do I start the SSH server from cmd line?

I think the following command should work.

/etc/init.d/sshd start not ssh, (small typo).

Under debian it is
/etc/init.d/ssh
not
sshd

Which seems logical to me as you woudnt start ssh client from /etc/init.d

If I'm wrong, then so is the Ubuntu documentation. I based my idea on my system, which is running Debian, but I double checked it against the Ubuntu docs and we both agree.

I'm pretty sure I read he was starting the daemon. but if its ssh on Ubuntu then thats new to me. Every distro to its own. mines in /etc/rc.d/sshd.
