Description Chris Jones 2007-02-03 00:25:36 AEDT

LocalCommand does not appear to expand variables, e.g.

LocalCommand /bin/echo %h >/tmp/foo

will just output "%h", it won't be expanded to the hostname being connected to.

Put this on the list for openssh-5.1

Comment 2 Darren Tucker 2008-06-14 07:41:16 AEST

This has now been added and will be in the next release (5.1).

LocalCommand
   Specifies a command to execute on the local machine after suc-
   cessfully connecting to the server.  The command string extends
   to the end of the line, and is executed with the user's shell.
   The following escape character substitutions will be performed:
   '%d' (local user's home directory), '%h' (remote host name), '%l'
   (local host name), '%n' (host name as provided on the command
   line), '%p' (remote port), '%r' (remote user name) or '%u' (local
   user name).  This directive is ignored unless PermitLocalCommand
   has been enabled.

$ ssh -o LocalCommand='echo %u@%h %p' localhost true
dtucker@localhost 22
