How can I ssh inside a Perl script?

Question

I want to SSH to a server and execute a simple command like \"id\" and get the output of it and store it to a file on my primary server. I do not have privileges to install

Answer 1

If you have ssh host keys setup you can simply run the ssh system command and then specify the command to run on the machine after that. For example:

`ssh user@remoteserver.domain.com id`

You should be able to chomp/store that output.
