Run commands automatically in interactive ssh session with apple shortcuts

[gabemorris12]

I would like to be able to automatically run consecutive commands in an ssh session, but I can't get the commands to run on the server interactively. Take this example:

I would like for this to launch my ssh session, then print "hello world" on the server, not the local a-shell instance. I could do it all in one command like this: ssh user@domain 'hello there', but this won't enter into the ssh terminal on the server. Is there a way to enter into the ssh session and run additional commands automatically?

Okay, that one is challenging. I don't see an easy way to do it right now.

The most canonical way is probably:

• put all the commands in a file,
• use sftp to put that file on the server,
• use ssh user@host file to run the commands,
• and then ssh user@host to end with an interactive session.

But that is only a partial answer to your question. I'll have to think about how to make a more complete answer.
The Shortcuts app has a default action "Run script over SSH", which could be a better solution (followed by a-Shell to get an interactive session).

That's a good proposal. Thanks for the response, and the incredible tool!
