How do I use ssh to run a program?

[HydroBob]

I am trying to use ssh to run a program and do not know how to do it. What I am trying to accomplish is to print output from myprogram as it is being posted rather than all at once after myprogram completes. I have this working without the 'exec ssh lx1' portion, but need to be able to access lx1 where myprogram resides.

A snippet of my code is:

set command "exec ssh lx1 /mydir/myprogram $myvariable"

if [catch {open "|$command|&cat"} input]{
$log insert end $input\n
} else {
fileevent $input readable Log
}

Thanks in advance,
Bob

Did you tried //lx1? (this is the standart addressing syntax for a net node)

set command "exec ssh //lx1 /mydir/myprogram $myvariable"

Thanks for the suggestion. I solved the problem by running the script on the machine I was trying to ssh to. Made things much easier in the long run.
