Hi,

I'm having some problems with the auto execution option in gnome-terminal.

What I'm trying to do is this to start a new terminal, and run "ssh [ip] | tee -ai [log file]" automatically. I've tried two ways to accomplish this, nr 1:
and nr 2:
None of them works. In the first example ssh treats the | and everything after it as a command to execute on the remote server I'm SSHing to, it's like the | is escaped in some way.

In the second example everything seems to work, except that the log file is empty. I think that the output of the gnome-terminal is piped to tee, and the | is not passed to the new terminal window at all.

So my question is, how do get the | to be sent to the new terminal, and to be treated as a | there?

Thanks,

What are you trying to achieve with 'ssh [ip] | tee -ai [log file]' ?

I'm trying to log all SSH output to a file. I used to do this when I was using PuTTY and find it very useful to be able to go back and check what I did and what output I got from commands earlier.
