This is a simple solution to running a remote program on a remote computer on the remote display through ssh. 1. Create an empty 'commander' file in the directory where you intend on running these commands. 2. Run the command 3. Hop on another computer and ssh in to the PC where you ran the command 4. cd to the directory where the 'commander' file is. 5. Test it by doing the following: echo "xeyes" > commander 6. If it worked properly, then xeyes will popup on the remote computer. Combined with my other one liner, you can place those in some start-up scripts and be able to screw with your wife/daughter/siblings, w/e by either launching programs or sending notifications(my other one liner). Also, creates a log file named comm_log in working directory that logs all commands ran.
0while :;do if [ ! $(ls -l commander |cut -d ' ' -f5) -eq 0 ]; then echo "Ran command: $(less commander) @ $(date +%D) $(date +%r)" >> comm_log;"$(less commander)";> commander;fi;done -
It connects to XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX port YYY, using a source port of "srcport" and binds the tunnel on local port "locport". Then you can connect to localhost:locport. With this command it's possible to connect to servers using a specific source port (useful when a firewall check the source port). Because of the connections starting from the same source port, this works well only for the first connection (for example, works well with SSH and bad with HTTP because of multiple requests). * It requires socat Show Sample Output
0socat TCP-LISTEN:locport,fork TCP:XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:YYY,sourceport=srcport -
An advanced possibility to count the lines of code like in #8394 Show Sample Output

When trying to find an error in a hosted project it's interesting to find out how the source is organized: Are there .inc files? Or .php files only? Or .xml files that probably contain translated texts? Show Sample Output
