setting current dir of remote shell

[Dave Yost]

I assume you mean

  ssh -t someserver "cd $(pwd) && exec \$0 -l"

This works well enough that I've updated yostupload to use it.

But is this the final word for ssh?  Should there be a more formal facility that works for shells that don't support -l ?

Thanks!

Dave
