SSH button

David Grootendorst

About this app

With the SSH button application you can send ssh commands to linux hosts via a button on your android device.
Simply create a new button and add the command you want to sent to the linux device.

You can specify per button:
- Label ( e.g. reboot raspberry or start application )
- Command to sent ( e.g. sudo reboot or sudo service httpd restart)
- ip adres or hostname
- username
- password
- Private key ( optional )
- ssh port

Keep in mind that you only use Linux/Unix commands that return immediately!!

Ratings and reviews

Excellent app. I use this to manage my Ark game server and so my friend can turn it on and off as required. Would be nice if there was a way to return a short simple message back to the app to be used to check and verify service status for example. e.g. "Service is stopped" or "Service is running" etc. Also perhaps a button clone feature would be good. Otherwise great app. Highly recommended.

I actually really like the app. Although I would prefer a more terminal based ASCII layout for the buttons, and also custom status string based on return code. So exit 1 can have custom string "Server failed to start." and exit 0 would output custom string "Server started successfully." for example. instead of "Responsecode 1/0" which is too vague for a Remote SSH Terminal button, in my opinion. Also, it would be good to have a timestamp postfix on status response output and auto interval timer

This was a simple and effective solution to my need for an easier way to start and stop an audio stream from my server. I wasn't sure this would work given the "immediate return" requirement - I am using a program that outputs audio until you control-c - but I was able to quickly create one button that runs a nohup [name] command and a second that runs a killall [name].
