SSH Wrapper Script

Ok — this is my first script that I’m posting here. Its a VERY simple ssh wrapper script that you can place in your path, preferably in ~/bin
#!/bin/bash
SSH="/usr/bin/ssh"
case "$*" in
*'@'*) $SSH $* ;;
*' -l'*) $SSH $* ;;
*) $SSH -l root $* ;;
esac
What this allows us to do is ssh as root to another box w/o specifying a user. Very handy if you spend your life in a terminal as I do. This could also be easily modifed for use with SCP or anything you wish…
