possibility of a RemoteCommand option in the ssh config file

[Simon]

Hi ssh devs,

I'm wondering about the possibility of adding a "RemoteCommand" option
in the ssh config file, which is what -t does in the command line.

I personally need this to run a small user background process on ssh
login, and it makes more sense to me to put this in the config file
since I do some port forwarding too for this process.

I did some research and there have been some similar requests over the
years so I think there is a need:
-
http://serverfault.com/questions/56086/ssh-how-to-include-t-command-in-the-ssh-config-file
-
http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/214004/ssh-config-auto-execute-remote-command
-
http://superuser.com/questions/124101/run-a-remote-command-using-ssh-config-file
-
http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/91747/ssh-config-specify-command-to-be-executed-on-the-remote-machine-upon-login

What do you think?

Cheers,
Simon

-t just requests that the server assign a pseudoterminal for whatever
command you later give it, and it already has an equivalent in
~/.ssh/config ("RequestTTY yes").

It's not clear to me what you're trying to do. If you're running a
small process in the background, wouldn't the shell startup script be
the right place to put it?
