dbclient: Run a command on the remote host with a [t]ty allocation allowing interaction with the remote command.
$ dbclient ${user}@${host} -t ${command} ${argument1 argument2 ---}
try on your machine
This command is to connect to a remote server via SSH (Secure Shell) using the dbclient tool, and execute a specific command on that server.
Here is a breakdown of the command:
dbclient
: This is the SSH client program that is being used to establish the connection and execute commands on the remote server.${user}@${host}
: This is a placeholder, where${user}
and${host}
are variables referring to the username and hostname or IP address of the remote server you want to connect to. You need to replace these variables with the actual values. For example, if the username is "john" and the server IP address is "192.168.1.100", it should be written asjohn@192.168.1.100
.-t
: This flag is used to allocate a pseudo-terminal for the SSH session. It ensures proper handling of interactive commands.${command}
: This is a placeholder for the command you want to execute on the remote server after establishing the SSH connection. Replace${command}
with the desired command. For example, if you want to execute thels
command, it should be written asls
.${argument1 argument2 ---}
: These are additional arguments or options that can be passed to the command being executed on the remote server. Replace${argument1 argument2 ---}
with the required command arguments. The---
is used to signify the end of options, in case any options include a hyphen.
For example, if you want to connect to a server with the username "john", IP address "192.168.1.100", execute the command "ls -l" with the arguments "-a" and "-h", the full command would be:
dbclient john@192.168.1.100 -t ls -l -a -h
This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and
never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
