University of Toronto ☛ OpenSSH can chose (or force) the 'shell' used for a specific SSH key
If you ran 'ssh u@h echo hi', then the command will be run with a $SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND that contains 'echo hi'. If you just ran 'ssh u@h', there will be no $SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND in the command's environment. This means that if you simply use a shell as your 'command=', it will only half work. You can do 'ssh u@h' and get a shell environment, but it won't be a login shell, while 'ssh u@h echo hi' won't work at all (it will typically hang). And in both cases, '$SHELL' will be your /etc/passwd login shell. To use this to selectively change your login shell based on the SSH key you use to authenticate, you'll need a cover script.

The New Stack ☛ Linux Skills: Manage System Services
Services are long-running applications that provide functionality to users, the local system or remote systems. Services enable most of the network capabilities we take for granted today. Examples of services include the transfer of email, web pages, print jobs, file sharing and more.
System administrators are responsible for service management on Linux devices. These tasks include configuration, startup options, security, etc.
