ssh with command…Plus the shell

Question

I\'d like a command that ssh\'es into a machine, runs a command (cd or execute a script or su), and then gives me the shell. Passing a command to ssh seems to always exit.

Answer 1

How about

    ssh me@machine ./executeMyScript '&&' bash -i

You have to quote the && so it will be passed to the remote machine instead of swallowed by the local shell.

Quote a ';' character and you can change your start directory, too:

    ssh me@machine ./executeMyScript '&&' cd /developmentDirectory ';' bash -i
