afssh − wrapper around ssh−agent−filter and ssh
afssh [ssh−agent−filter options] −− [ssh arguments]
afssh −− [ssh arguments]
afssh (agent filtered ssh) start ssh−agent−filter(1), passing it the arguments given to afssh before the separator −−. If there are no arguments before −−, whiptail(1) or dialog(1) is used to ask the user which keys to forward.
After setting up the ssh−agent−filter(1) ssh(1) is started with −A and the rest of the arguments (after −−).
When ssh(1) exits, the ssh−agent−filter(1) is killed to not leave tons of them idling.
−h, −−help
prints a short usage description, then runs ssh−agent−filter(1) with −−help and ssh(1) with −−help
−− |
mandatory separator between the options passed to ssh−agent−filter(1) and those passed to ssh(1) |
Returns the return value of ssh(1) unless setting up the ssh−agent−filter failed, in which case the return value might be any non−zero value.
ssh−agent−filter(1), ssh(1), ssh−agent(1), ssh−add(1), whiptail(1), dialog(1)
