Linux help needed

It's been a while since I've worked on a command line Linux box and I was hoping somebody could answer some simple questions.

1) the input and output of sending an email.

2) the input and output of remote connecting to another linux box over the internet.

all I really need is an example of each.

In answer to number 2 -:

ssh -l remote-user remote-host

remote-user = username
remote-host = ip / name of remote computer

If you are using the same username on both the local and the remote computer you can leave out the "-l remote-user" bit.

All the above I quickly got off two boxes I have access to. Being a nerd does have some benefits :)

Nerds rule!!! :cool:

Thanks a bunch again Buns :D

so to get it straight, thats two different examples right?

and this would be a working example if it wern't for the dummy ip

ssh -l bluepawn 192.168.0.1

Yeah, my example was logging into one box, then using that box to login to another :)

Yours is fine :)
