  • As a side note. The code need to be improved. Though you could wrap it in a function like TrytoSSH() { your_code_here } then call your function by TrytoSSH Commented Aug 19, 2013 at 11:13
  • Thanks val0x00ff, what about passing parameters and using them inside the method? For example can I call trytoSSH $USERID@$HOST $SCRIPT_PATH/runme.sh and use them in my function with $1, $2 , $3 ? And sometimes parameters to ssh might be different in number also so I want "ssh $USERID@$HOST $SCRIPT_LOCATION/runme.sh " or ssh -t $USERID@$HOST $SCRIPT_LOCATION/runme.sh " as single parameter and want to replace it directly with ssh.

  • You certainly can. You can use "$1" "$2" positional parameters to achieve this. The command will be like ssh -t "$1" "$2" where positional parameter "$1" is user@host and "$2" is your script. Commented Aug 19, 2013 at 11:30
  • @val0x00ff Is quoting the positional parameter really necessary? With spaces you are ****ed already before passing the parameters. Other side note to java_enthu: why not using a for loop? Commented Aug 19, 2013 at 11:41
  • @Bernhard Not really, it's more a habit. I always quote the vars even though not needed. Commented Aug 19, 2013 at 11:49
