autorun bash commands upon ssh login

This is to be set up on the machine that you are connecting to.

Edit ~/.bashrc (or /etc/bash.bashrc if you want this to affect all users who login over ssh instead of just yourself).

I added the following code to the end my .bashrc file on my server to test if it’s an ssh connection, and if it is, to run the toilet command and screenfetch command upon login. The echos are for formatting and not necessary.

#autorun on ssh login
if [[ -n $SSH_CONNECTION ]] ; then
        sleep 2
        echo
        toilet -f slant -t Titan Server
        echo
        screenfetch
        echo
        echo checking wireless connection...
        sleep .4
        nmcli dev wifi | grep \*
        echo
        echo checking on bind service for local dns...
        sleep .4
        systemctl status bind9 | grep active
        echo checking on dynamic dns service to update dynu.com with this server\'s network\'s public ip address...
        sleep .4
        systemctl status dynuiuc | grep active
        echo
        echo checking that rum and redacted domains point to the public ip address that this server uses via dynamic dns...
        sleep .4
        host rum.redacted.tk
        echo
        echo checking if local mediawiki backups are syncing with cloud backups, identical = yes, differ = no...
        sleep .4
        diff -s -q <(ls /var/lib/automysqlbackup/daily/wikidb) <(ls ~/pCloudDrive/Titan\ Server/Mediawiki\ Backup/mysql\ database/daily/wikidb/) | grep 'identical\|differ'
        echo
        echo checking hard drive space...
        sleep .4
        df -h
        echo
        echo  To edit what runs automatically upon ssh login, edit the '~/.bashrc' file and
        echo  scroll to the bottom. Once you are finished and have saved your changes, view
        echo  how they will look in terminal by running '. ~/.bashrc'
        echo
fi

That will display the following in the terminal every time I successfully connect to the server over ssh

• running ‘. .bashrc’ from the home directory prompts the script to run if you want to do it manually vs reconnecting over ssh every time to see how yours looks
