Re: [ALUG] Is there any way to 'ssh and cd'?

I'd like to set up some logins to various places around my LAN which not only ssh to the relevant place but also do a cd to a specific directory.

OK - so is this key dependant or user dependant?

Can anyone suggest a way to do this? By default if you give a command to ssh at the end of the line then it executes that command and then closes the connection - it only keeps the connection open if there is no command at the end. In addition doing a cd is even a bit more difficult because it's no use at all to execute it in a sub-shell.

Well, you could always create multiple users with the same uid/gid and make it so that their $HOME is set to the directory you want it to go to, that'd be a fairly typical workaround.
