Depending on how you've setup ssh, you'll either now be logged into the remote_machine, or you'll have a terminal with a prompt for username/password on the remote.

If you want it scripted

Code:

#!/bin/bash
#open new terminal window with ssh login to machine_name
Terminal -e ssh <remote_machine>

cheers,

Hi,

Is it possible to execute a command in the newly opened terminal with ssh login from the same script?

Thanks in Advance,
Saeya

Not sure what you try, but by default ssh uses the current login user:
[/QUOTE] ssh server "command"[/QUOTE]
or use another user with

Quote:

ssh user@server "command"

If you don't want to be asked for a password, there is different ways:
- Use public/private key.
- Use kerberos (if you are in a kerberos session).

Code:

[Mon Nov 11 19:24:53 user@user:~ ] $ ssh user@server ls | grep foo
foo
[Mon Nov 11 19:25:00 user@user:~ ] $

that is from the command line, but do keep in mind that local and remote aliases will not function.

Code:

[Mon Nov 11 19:24:38 user@user:~ ] $ ssh user@server d | grep user
bash: d: command not found
[Mon Nov 11 19:24:53 user@user:~ ] $

on all of my systems i have d set to ls -laF as an alias.

read the links in my sig for howto setup ssh keys for passwordless login.
