This project is no longer being developed. There will be no updates and no
security fixes. This page serves archival purposes only.
ssh-forcecommand is a trivial script to safely execute remote commands via ssh. It is especially aimed at automated remote commands (in which ssh keys are not secured via password), where a compromise of the remote system could also compromise the local system.
To prevent this, you can invoke ssh-forcecommand through the ssh configuration, which will limit the remote system so that it can only execute a set of statically defined commands. This way, compromising the local system is made much more diffecult.
See the manual for more.
