The PermitUserEnvironment option for the OpenSSH sshd might make scp usable after all. At present the sshd won't allow an existing file to be over-written, even when write permission is present. Is there a NAME=value pair for ~/.ssh/environment which means "allow over-writing of existing file"? I haven't found helpful documentation. This is my next idea for a user specific J interpreter server to be started before a work session. If ssh does what is needed, this won't be needed. Nevertheless, a good exercise. #!/bin/dash # A script named jserver to be started prior to a work session. # Whenever <script file> is modified, it is executed. exec while 1 do case "$#" in 0) echo "Usage: jserver <script file>"; exit;; 1) ;; \?) echo "Usage: jserver <script file>"; exit;; esac # There is one parameter which should be the name of a file containing an executable script. case (inotifywait -e modify "$1") in 0) chmod u+x ~/"$1"; ~/"$1";; 1) echo "inotifywait: An error occurred. Check parameter file name.";; 2) echo "inotifywait: no event in specified interval of time.";; esac done exit Thanks for any further tips, ... Peter E. -- Telephone 1 360 639 0202.
