Hello Aaron,
Needless to say, it was a valuable lesson, one I'll never forget. In fact,
it prompted me to use LocalCommand in my ~/.ssh/config, and echo colored
prompts, depending on whether or not I'm on a production (blinking bold red),
staging (bold yellow) or development (bold green) server.
Like Bryan wrote, that seems a very good idea.
I have been looking at LocalCommand an PermitLocalCommand in the ssh_config file but the
documentation is a bit sparse.
Is it indeed all client sided, then how do I specify which command to use for
which server?
Can you provide a few sample lines?
So far I had only one (major) mistake and I was able to correct it on the fly.
I thought I did an "init 0" on my machine but did it in the wrong screen where I had a ssh session
to a production server. Fortunately I noticed immediately what I had done wrong and issued an "init
6" before the ssh session closed. It worked, the server did a reboot instead of a shutdown. :-)
After that I became even more careful looking at the prompt to see where I am but..... color coding
like that seems a good idea as well.
p.s. Will that work with a PuTTY session from a Windows client as well?
