I have an example.  a shell script executes the
following:

scp -i magickey somefile someuser at somehost:something
2>someotherfile

the .authorized_keys file for someuser on somehost has
a command override to execute a script file.

the script file on somehost creates a temporary
directory (using $$ perhaps) then executes scp -t
thatdirectory.  When the scp -t finishes, the script
does some processing on the received files, perhaps
even sending error messages to stderr.

Cheers,
-Thomas
