running auto apps on tgt srvr via ssh access

[bruce]

Hi.

Doing some research and thought I'd ask here as well.

A potential use case has a user fetching projects from "Github" and
running tests with the project on the tgtTestServer

The tgtTestServer can have the shell script to fetch/test the Github
project. However, I'm wondering what might be suitable/reasonable
methods of "sshing" into the tgtServer to initiate/run the script.

Any pointers/sites for this kind of thing would be great.

thanks

I think this is what you are looking for, if I follow what you posted:

Hi Brian.

Thanks!

But setting up ssh is no issue. My issue, I'm wondering how to "run" a
cmd on srvr2 via ssh when I'm on srvr1. And a larger issue, is this
even the "right" way to handle testing "stuff" within Github?

thanks.

How is:

     ssh srvr2 the-command...

not enough? I feel that I'm missing some larger context here.

Shrug. Why not? If you want to test "run some command on srvr2" and 
you're orchestrating things from srvr1, the above ssh seems fine to me.  
Obviously it glosses over the target user on srvr2 and the ssh key 
setup, but you say you've got that side of things sorted.

Example: I've got a little script to twiddle our firewall's routing as 
needed. It looks like this:

     #!/bin/sh
     set -ue
     if [ $# = 0 ]
     then  ssh fw cat /etc/isp-state
     else  set-x ssh fw doas -u root isp.sh "$@"
     fi

It just sshes to the firewall and runs the required command.
