What's wrong with just piping it on stdin? I.e.: local$ echo "whatever" | ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] ./bin/mycommand and in ./bin/mycommand: --- #!/bin/sh read myvar # do whatever --- Or do you in fact use a pseudo tty on remote side for interactive mode (which would make this a little more difficult)? If you want to keep your way of doing it, I just have a few hints, but didn't test anything, just looked them up out of curiosity: - read "man sshd_config", item AcceptEnv, PermitUserEnvironment - read "man sshd", section LOGIN PROCESS -hwh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
