| − | * you work on a computer and you want to easily connect another distant computer without entering you password at each time. To do so, you must generate a private and a public key on your computer to be put on the .ssh directory on your home, using, for instance, the dsa protocol:
| + | ===Handling batch jobs=== |
| − | ssh-keygen -t dsa
| |
| − | Then, you have the two new files in the ssh directory
| |
| − | id_dsa
| |
| − | id_dsa.pub
| |
| − | Add the public key id_dsa.pub to the list of keys in the .ssh/authorized_keys file of the distant computer (create the file if it does not exist). Now it should work for you!
| |
| − | | |
| − | In addition, you can simplify the connection by configuring your ssh. Edit the .ssh/config file on your computer and enter
| |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | StrictHostKeyChecking no
| |
| − | | |
| − | Host RemoteComputer
| |
| − | Hostname computer.domain.com
| |
| − | User username
| |
| − | Protocol 2
| |
| − | ForwardX11 yes
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − | Protocol 2 is for ssh2 and ForwardX11 enables you to open a remote Xwindow. Typing
| |
| − | ssh RemoteComputer
| |
| − | or
| |
| − | scp RemoteComputer:File .
| |
| − | is now sufficient to connect the distant computer without entering your password. You can add several Host in this file.
| |

| − | * you want to execute a single command on a distant computer without connecting to the computer.

| |
| − | * if you do some regular updates, there is no ''-update'' option to ''scp''. Then, better use the ''rsync'' command. For instance with
| |
| − | :> rsync -avub -e ssh server:data/*.gz data/
| |
| − | be careful with the slash after directory names, with or without is no exactly the same behavior. Look at ''man rsync'' before using it.

| |
| − | Linux usually provides a couple of command piping gzip
| |
| − | zgreg, zcat, zdiff, zless, zmore, zegrep,...
| |
| − | Here is a simple extension of ''tail'' and ''head'' for zipped files, that you can call ''ztail'' and ''zhead'' (example is for tail, replace "tail" with "head" everywhere to get zhead) and add to your own /bin directory:

| − | <source lang="bash">

| − | #!/bin/bash
| |
| − | PATH=${GZIP_BINDIR-'/bin'}:$PATH
| |

| − | Like 'tail', but operate on the uncompressed contents of any compressed FILEs.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Options are the same as for 'tail'."
