So, you have to explicitely make your
osascript -e 'return 2+2'
as a single argument for ssh.
Not strictly true,
Damn! You are right...
While reading your post, I remembered having encountered similar
problems with ssh, and the solution I found at that time was the above one.
But I guess I later converted this into some kind of abusive
generalization :-(
since:
ssh user@remoteIP ls -l /Users
...works as expected. But
In the precise case of your example, enclosing it with double quotes suffices:
ssh username@127.0.0.1 "osascript -e 'return 2+2'"
...does work, so I'm a happy bunny
And so I may feel somewhat happy too...
-- almost.
... or maybe not?
Can I also somehow pass in the required password so ssh doesn't need to ask
for it, when the command originates from the user "nobody" (ie. I can't use
my usual method of a pregenerated RSA key as in
<http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20011207004643312&query=ssh+pa
ssword+key>).
I confess I don't fully understand your question.
Do you mean you attributed a password to user "nobody"?
And in which context do you want to invoke ssh? From a shell script?
From AppleScript's "do shell script"? As a cron job?
Could you provide somewhat more details?
Axel
