Ssh Command
======================================================================

Often the ssh command needs to be used to login to remote machines. As the
interaction with such machines could be frequent via the ssh command, it is
often a good idea to include them into the ~/.ssh/config file. To simplify
interaction, we provide a simple ssh command in cloudmesh.

The manual page of the `ssh` command can be found at: `ssh
<../man/man.html#ssh>`__

Lists
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

To lists the hostsnames that are present in the `~/.ssh/config` file use
the command

.. prompt:: bash, cm>

  ssh list


To list the contents of the `~/.ssh/config` file use the command

.. prompt:: bash, cm>
	    
  ssh cat

Tos showcase a nice table you can use either of the commands

.. prompt:: bash, cm>
	    
  ssh table
  ssh list --format=table

  

Executing Commands
