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 com-
       mand, 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, especially with the -f
              option. $ARCS_SSH is used if it exists, else $SSH, else ssh.  Get fsh from:
