[...] This pretty slick trick tells how to open remote man pages with BBEdit. I think it’s definining some sort of function in bash? I’ve never seen the function command used before, so I assume it’s a trick with some shell. [...]

Thanks for the tip! However, I find there is a semicolon missing at the end (at least for bash): function manb () { ssh $1 man $2 | col -b | bbedit -t "$2@$1" --clean --view-top; } If you don't use BBEdit, but you have TextWrangler with the command line tool installed, you can change that into: function manb () { ssh $1 man $2 | col -b | edit -t "$2@$1" --clean --view-top; } And if you're, instead, a TextMate junkie: function manb () { ssh $1 man $2 | col -b | mate; } This last version doesn't show you a proper title, because the mate command line tool doesn't provide a flag for it…

Mac Singularity: Yes, it's a bash function -- they're obscure, but more flexible than aliases. juandesant: Interesting. I have the semicolon on another shell function, but this one works without it for me.

This is not elegant but will show you a proper title in TextMate: function manb () { ssh $1 man $2 | col -b > $2@$1; mate -w $2@$1; rm -rf $2@$1; }

I made a adjustments to the function to allow for more customizations if you're like me and you happen to use BBEdit/ TextMate and/or TextWrangler interchangeably. -function operates as before, just pass either -bb or -tw or -tx as the final parameter to choose your editor of choice (BBEdit/ TextWranger/ TextMate, respectively). -if the function is called with an editor, it defaults to TextMate, this can be changed by editting the last condition. function man_ssh () { case $3 in "-bb") ssh $1 man $2 | col -b | bbedit -t "$2@$1" --clean --view-top ;; "-tx") ssh $1 man $2 | col -b | mate ;; "-tw") ssh $1 man $2 | col -b | edit -t "$2@$1" --clean --view-top ;; *) # default ssh $1 man $2 | col -b | mate return ;; esac }

[...] do an ‘ssh [remote_host] man [remote_command] | less‘, but while visiting this post at Extra Pepperoni, I was inspired, expanded on the original, and posted it there. [↩]Article Series - CLI MagicCLI [...]
