Belier: Script Your SSH Connection
Software version | 1.2 |
Operating System | Debian 7 |
Website | Belier Website |
Introduction
Belier1 allows opening a shell or executing a command on a remote computer through an SSH connection. The main feature of Belier is its ability to cross several intermediate computers before completing the job.
- Belier reaches the final computer through intermediate machines.
- You can execute commands with any account available on the remote computer.
- It is possible to switch accounts on intermediate computers before accessing the final computer.
- You can open a data tunnel through every host you cross to the final host.
- Belier generates one script for each final computer to reach.
Belier aims to give a single system administrator a tool to work independently, without requiring modification of the computers they need to cross, just using the current configurations of every machine they have to work with. So it’s not a revolutionary tool, but it helps to be productive quickly.
For instance, here is what is possible to do with it:
Installation
To install it, as usual it’s easy on Debian:

Configuration
The configuration is really simple. Type line by line in a ‘connection’ file, connection information for:
- The server name or IP
- The username
- The password
It should look like this:

Then generate an automatic shell connection script with Belier:

You should now have a script containing all the commands to quickly connect to your desired server:

You can now launch the command with final_server.sh :-)
