NAME

App::Goto - Utility for accessing remote servers via SSH

SYNOPSIS

  use App::Goto;

  my $goto = App::Goto->({ config => $config, args => $args });

  system( $goto->cmd );

Via included 'g2' script, allows for shortening of commands for connecting to remote servers. Examples of the type of command that can be shortened by using g2 are:

    g2 l log        => ssh 127.0.0.1 -t 'cd /var/log/ && bash'
    g2 f top        => ssh firstserver -t 'htop'

See g2's own documentation for further details.

DESCRIPTION

App::Goto is designed to make it as easy as possible to access remote servers via SSH, allowing you to give the shortest possible unique string needed to identify the server, and optionally to specify what command to run upon login - such as changing to a frequently-used directory for you.

Requires a hashref of config details that define hosts & commands; and an arrayref of arguments to define the specific host & command to use.

METHODS

is_success

Boolean, returns true if the passed-in arguments were correctly parsed. Otherwise false.

error

If is_success is false, this should give a useful reason why.

cmd

Returns the command string calculated based on the passed-in args & config

nick

Returns the calculated nickname from the possibly-ambiguous supplied argument.

host

Returns the actual hostname for the supplied nickname.
