A few useful tools and shortcuts I use on machines

go:

will add your public key to a remote user's authorized keys file and ssh to the host

usage: go [user@]<hostname>[:port] [optional command to run remotely]

ex:

gotools chriskaufmann$ go southpark "uptime"

21:45:45 up 245 days, 13:48, 2 users, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00

gotools chriskaufmann$ go bob:8022 "uptime"

15:53:52 up 31 days, 18:50, 0 users, load average: 0.01, 0.01, 0.00

gox:

identical to go, except for going with X support

usage: gox [user@]<hostname>[:port] [optional command to run remotely]

ex:

gotools chriskaufmann$ gox futurama VirtualBox

(VirtualBox window pops up)

ami:

as in "am I doing something?"

usage: ami <some command>

ex:

gotools chriskaufmann$ ami notify
