Re: Connect to the ssh and execute any command

[yary]

I'm not sure if perl is on Andrey's remote host, but I recall that
other parts of Tramp uses it. So here are perl-based alternates to
"id":

# id -u:
perl -le 'print$>'

# id -un
perl -le 'print scalar getpwuid($>)'

# id -g
perl -le 'print($)=~/(\d+)/)'

# id -gn
perl -le 'print scalar getgrgid($))'
-y
