Shortcut for ssh, scp and telnet commands

No more need remember and type long host names, just configure short aliases for them.

Script written in Perl. Configuration is stored in YAML format.

USAGE

# optional arguments for ssh or telnet command
c [arguments] server
# copy files with scp
c [arguments] server:/from/path1 to/local/path
c [arguments] from/local/path1 server:/to/path
# show full command
c -h server
# show only host (for usage in scripts)
c server^
# ping host
c server^ping

EXAMPLES

With config from c.example.yaml

SSH

# connect via ssh
c radius
# both connect to same server:
c db
c mysql

SCP

# copy files from server
c radius:/etc/hosts .
c radius:/etc/hosts radius-hosts
c radius:/path/to/{file1,file2}
c -r radius:/file1 radius:/file2 voip:/some/dir /tmp/

# copy local directory and file to server
c -r some/dir misc.txt radius:/tmp/

Telnet

# connect via telnet
c router

Other

c gw -h
# output: ssh -R52698:127.0.0.1:52698 -A -p 22000 [email protected]
c voip^
# output: voip.example.com
c voip^ping
# ping that host

INSTALL
