how can I pass an environment variable through an ssh command?
- by Ross Rogers
How can I pass a value into an ssh command, such that the environment that is started on the host machine starts with a certain environment variable set to my choosing?
EDIT:
The goal is to pass the current kde desktop ( from dcop kwin KWinInterface currentDesktop ) to the new shell created so that I can pass back an nfs locations to my JEdit instance on the original server which is unique for each KDE desktop. ( Using a mechanism like emacsserver/emacsclient)
The reason multiples ssh instances can be in flight at one time is because when I'm setting up my environment, I'm opening a bunch of different ssh instances to different machines.
