How to Re-Execute SSH with an Absolute Path

SSH (Secure Shell) is an important tool for internet security and provides encryption for secure access to remote systems. It is also used for tunneling, forwarding and for transferring files securely. This guide will provide you with a step-by-steo solution so that you can re-execute an SSH command with an absolute path.

Prerequisites

  • A development environment with the necessary tools and libraries.
  • Basic knowledge of the terminal and command line.
  • An understanding of variables and how they work in Bash programming.

Step-by-Step Guide

First, you need to open the Terminal window. This can be done by searching for Terminal in the Start Menu or opening the Command Prompt in the System Tools.

Execute the command using the absolute path in the Terminal window. If you want to run the command in a specific directory, you can use the cd command followed by the absolute path to the directory.

To make sure that the command is running, use the ps aux | grep ssh command. This command lists all currently running SSH processes.

If the desired command is not running, you can re-execute the same command with the absolute path.  For example:  /usr/bin/ssh -L 1234:1.2.3.4:5678 -l username 1.3.4.6.

Finally, check if the re-executed action has been successful.
