Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

With the SSH button application you can send ssh commands to linux hosts via a button on your android device. Simply create a new button and add the command you want to sent to the linux device. You can specify per button: - Label ( e.g. reboot raspberry or start application ) - Command to sent ( e.g. sudo reboot or sudo service httpd restart) - ip adres or hostname - username - password - Private key ( optional ) - ssh port Keep in mind that you only use Linux/Unix commands that return immediately!!
