logbash

[realtest]

Hi,
My boss told me very fast and briefly to 'logbash' to a server!!
I googled and also searched here and also typed 'man logbash' but couldn't find out.

does logbash mean to ssh to a server but with a different username or something?

What are you trying to do?

Ask HIM to express himself clearly !

Well, some of the things that come to mind include that "logbash" is a contraction of "login and run bash", or it could mean "go find a log and bash the server"...

"go find a log and bash the server"

ssh, don't give him ideas


But kidding aside, it either means to 'log bash' or to get a 'bash login' (over ssh?). Or you're being had. bashlog reminds me also of stories about people getting send to the shop to buy a stack-expansion.

He meant to use:
$ sudo -u <aParticularUser> logbash

So basically it means to LOG into a box as a user which is different than mine. right?

$ sudo -u <aParticularUser> logbash

Your boss is always right, but ... ehm ... this thread made it to the first page of my search results

<mumble>that's never a good sign</mumble>

A stack expander? That would be right next to the chrome muffler bearings, right?
