This option seemed like trying to kill a mosquito with shotgun. What are
some of the other ways you employ to get this type of script output back
from a remote host? I'm looking for something lightweight and fast --
aren't we all. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

The general case of "retrieving script output" has no good solution (that I'm
aware of). I think you're stuck with using ssh. But note that you don't have
to redirect to a remote file and then fetch it, you can just redirect the
output to a file locally

ssh user@host command > outputfile

will generate the file locally

But in the special case of sensor data, I think the easiest is to use snmp. It
was designed for this very thing, to get remote information for local use
