Re: Running additional shell startup commands

[Julien Jehannet <julien@xxxxxxxx>]

In case, you wish a ssh wrapper:

#!/bin/zsh -f
# Usage: ssh -ARG login@hostname:/go/to/directory/path

t=(${(s.:.)@[-1]})
if [ -n "${t[2]}" ]; then
    exec /usr/bin/ssh -t ${@[1,-2]} ${t[1]} "cd ${t[2]}; exec \$SHELL -l"
else
    exec /usr/bin/ssh $@
fi
