Invoking fsh

You can use fsh to connect to a remote system via a tunnel.

fsh [ -r method ] [ -l login ] server command args...

The method argument should be an rsh-compatible program. The default value is ssh.

The login argument specifies the user name that should be used on the remote system.

Examples:

fsh sally.lysator.liu.se echo hej
fsh -r lsh biffen.signum.se head -43 /etc/termcap
fsh -l root -r lsh biffen.signum.se head -43 /etc/termcap

If no fshd with the approriate options is running one will be started by fsh. The exit value of fsh will be the exit value of the command that is executed remotely.

The remote command will be executed via whatever $SHELL is set to when the user logs in to the remote system. It might be instructive to run `fsh sally env' to see what the remote environment really looks like. If you do not like it, you should consult the documentation for the underlying transport (such as ssh)--fsh does not alter the environment.
