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 Anders -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
