Executing Local Scripts Remotely on Linux Servers via SSH

Scripting repetitive tasks improves the efficiency of system administration. That’s great for local machines, but what if you oversee remote servers? Can you run a local script on a remote computer? Yes!

Remote system administration usually involves making a connection to the remote computer over a secure shell connection. The SSH connection provides you with a command prompt on the remote computer. You can then go right ahead and perform whatever system maintenance is required.

Shell scripting helps by letting you wrap a sequence of commands into a script that can be run as though they were a program, combining many actions into one command line instruction.
