ssh <host> <command>
Even works with scp, too. Also, 'hostname' is already a command.<hostname> <command>
instead ofssh <hostname> <command>
(assuming you have your .ssh/config set up) and I don't see that as a big enough advantage to outweigh possible conflicts between host names and other commands, and remembering to setup links for all the hosts you use on all your boxes. In terms of teaching end users, a custom system at your site is more of a training hassle than just using the standard commands unless there's a big savings, IMHO.
