Is there a way to perform automated actions via tramp (or some other method in emacs) on remote hosts? Something like: (tramp-ssh-connect some.host) (tramp-exec "ls -la") ;; list directory contents on some.host (tramp-disconnect some.host) or something. I'm not bothered about having to type in username/password combinations at this stage in order to login, more about executing some commands on the remote host. I'm also not interested in editing remote files in this scenario, what I want is to be able to have the mode I am writing be able to interact with the host to which I have just uploaded a script, say (that's not it exactly but it's the easiest way to describe it). -- Gary Please do NOT send me 'courtesy' replies off-list.
