cockpit-desktop: Open a page.
$ cockpit-desktop ${url} ${SSH_host}
try on your machine

The command cockpit-desktop ${url} ${SSH_host} is a Linux command that launches the Cockpit desktop interface, passing two parameters:

  1. ${url}: This parameter represents the URL of the Cockpit server or the machine where Cockpit is installed. It is typically in the form of https://<server-ip> or http://<server-ip>. Cockpit is a web-based administrative interface for Linux systems, and this parameter specifies the location of the server where it is running.

  2. ${SSH_host}: This parameter represents the SSH host details for establishing a secure shell connection to the server running Cockpit. It typically includes the username and hostname or IP address of the server in the format <username>@<hostname> or <username>@<ip-address>. This parameter is used to enable remote management of the server through Cockpit.

When the command is executed with the correct values for ${url} and ${SSH_host}, it will open the Cockpit desktop interface in a web browser, allowing you to manage the server remotely.
