Script development

Install your own SSH key

S="${HOME}/.ssh";mkdir --mode 0700 "$S";editor "${S}/authorized_keys"
ssh-keygen -v -l -f "${S}/authorized_keys"

authorized_keys parameters:

# restrict == no-port-forwarding,no-agent-forwarding,no-X11-forwarding,no-pty,no-user-rc
restrict,command="echo 'Please login as the user \"debian\" rather than the user \"root\".';echo;sleep 10" ssh-rsa AAAA...

Install a user's SSH key

u bash -c 'S="${HOME}/.ssh";mkdir --mode 0700 "$S";editor "${S}/authorized_keys"'
U="$(stat -c %U .)";S="$(getent passwd $U|cut -d: -f6)/.ssh";mkdir -m 0700 "$S";editor "${S}/authorized_keys";chown -R $U:$U "$S"

Retrieve public key from private key

ssh-keygen -y -f ~/.ssh/id_ecdsa

Display SSH access details

printf 'host: %s\nport: %s\nuser: %s\n' "$(hostname)" "$(/usr/sbin/sshd -T -C user=root -C host=localhost -C addr=localhost|sed -n -e 's/^port \([0-9]\+\)$/\1/p')" "$(ls -tr /home/|tail -n1)"

List sshd host keys

ls /etc/ssh/ssh_host_*_key.pub | xargs -n 1 ssh-keygen -l -f

Record terminal session

script --timing=NAME.time --append NAME.script
scriptreplay --maxdelay 1 NAME.time NAME.script

Fast and safe transit of scripts (or any data) via copy&paste

Use magic-wormhole

Pack
cat $SCRIPT|xz -9|base64 -w $((COLUMNS-1))
# alias: cat $SCRIPT | transit
Unpack
cat $PASTED_FILE|base64 -d|xz -d > $SCRIPT
# alias: cat $PASTED_FILE | transit-receive

Moving away git-dir

git init --separate-git-dir=/home/user/gitdir

Produces:

/home/user/work-dir/.git: gitdir: /home/user/git

/home/user/gitdir/config: worktree = /home/user/work-dir

Rescan the SCSI Bus to Add SCSI Devices

echo "- - -" > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/scan
