When I ssh in to my other Macs I want to always execute a command like `screen` as the first thing I do. However, I don't want to run that command if I am opening a terminal window directly on that machine.
Basically, what I want to do is simply have an alias that does both of these commands: 1) ssh [email protected] 2) screen -DRRS Fred without having to remember to actually do the screen command. The trouble is, an alias will execute the ssh, and then execute the screen command AFTER the ssh terminates, not sending it to execute eon the remote Mac. So, I was hoping there might be a way to do this in Terminal.app? /* For the record, I would be using several different aliases, one for each machine, but I don't think that's relevant. */ -- Sometimes the gods have no taste at all. They allow sunrises and sunsets in ridiculous pink and blue hues that any professional artist would dismiss as the work of some enthsiastic amateur who'd never looked at a real sunset. This was one of those sunrises. It was the kind of sunrise a man looks at and says, 'No real sunrise could paint the sky Surgical Appliance Pink.' Nevertheless, it was beautiful. --The Thief of Time _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
