I just stumbled upon the sql sub-project for parallel, a wrapper for
various command line sql utilities.
Today I found the need for a nice wrapper for the various copy
utilities. Between wget, curl, rsync, scp and "mkdir", it'd be great to
have a wrapper.
One of the more frustrating items with scp and rsync is that they don't
create parent directories, so one must do: "[ssh remote] mkdir -p
destination/path/file && rmdir destination/path/file" prior to scp.
Here's the kludge ssh-copy-id goes through:
{ eval "$GET_ID" ; } | ssh $1 "umask 077; test -d .ssh || mkdir .ssh ;
cat >> .ssh/authorized_keys; test -x /sbin/restorecon &&
/sbin/restorecon .ssh .ssh/authorized_keys" || exit 1
vs a possible put command:
put ~/.ssh/authorized_keys ssh://remote:~/.ssh/authorized_keys
And for a local user, append and chown:
put -aU otheruser ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
/home/otheruser/.ssh/authorized_keys
Anyway, it's a thought.
