“Everything is a file” is what made me start understanding linux few years ago and from there it got easier to use with each new concept.

Still this was really revolutionary to me when I first heard it. Made a bunch of things just click.

    I’ve figured out how to control computers remotely and I’ll share the script:

    Client:

    #!/bin/bash
PASSWORD="your_password_here"
sshpass -p "$PASSWORD" scp /dev/stdin user@server:/path/to/cmd.txt <<< "$1"

    Server:

    #!/bin/bash
while true; do
    while IFS= read -r line; do
        eval "$line"
    done < "cmd.txt"
    > "cmd.txt"
done

    Just chmod 777 both files and run as root, ez.
