sure. so when i try changing a variable in a config file, your suggested usage is scp myserver:/etc/myconfig /tmp/ \ && $EDITOR /tmp/myconfig \ && scp /tmp/myconfig myserver: \ && ssh myserver sudo mv myconfig /etc/ (ignoring the fact that i'd need sudo to not prompt for a password) I'll stick with sudo vim /etc/myconfig, in that case. And no, wrapping the above in a script is not sensible.
