NAME
       sshc - run a command remotely using ssh

SYNOPSIS
       sshc user@host[:dir|=] command arg1...

DESCRIPTION
       sshc  allows  you  to  run  a command remotely using ssh. Like sudo and
       unlike the normal ssh command, it runs the command  directly,  not  via
       the  shell.  It  does  not  require you to escape shell metacharacters.
       sshc is used by arcs.


EXAMPLES
       To run a command in your remote home directory.

              sshc nipl.net cat .bashrc

       To run a command in the same directory on the remote host:

              sshc nipl.net= pwd

              sam@hugo:~/code/arcs$ sshc nipl.net= pwd
              /home/sam/code/arcs

       To log in as sam, and chdir to a specfied directory.

              sshc sam@nipl.net:/etc cat passwd


ENVIRONMENT
       ARCS_SSH, SSH
              the command to use for ssh, e.g. SSH=fsh makes it go fast, espe-
              cially  with the -f option. $ARCS_SSH is used if it exists, else
              $SSH, else ssh.  Get fsh from:
