Description by David Grootendorst(from Google Play)
With the SSH button application you can send ssh commands to linux hosts via a button on your android device. Simply create a new button and add the command you want to sent to the linux device.
You can specify per button: - Label ( e.g. reboot raspberry or start application ) - Command to sent ( e.g. sudo reboot or sudo service httpd restart) - ip adres or hostname - username - password - Private key ( optional ) - ssh port
Keep in mind that you only use Linux/Unix commands that return immediately!!

Could use a UI update, but functionally it does exactly what it says it can do. Send an SSH command as a single action/button

I actually really like the app. Although I would prefer a more terminal based ASCII layout for the buttons, and also custom status string based on return code. So exit 1 can have custom string "Server failed to start." and exit 0 would output custom string "Server started successfully." for example. Instead of "Response code 1/0" which is too vague for a Remote SSH Terminal button, in my opinion. Also, it would be good to have a timestamp postfix on status response output and auto interval timer

It's simple and great app for remote executing one-liner shell commands

Some more information regarding the private key would be nice. I tried the id_rsa format generated from ssh-keygen on linux. And also .ppk putty key file. Both give the "invalid private key" error.

I expected the command result to be displayed on my phone, but it only displays OK (time). Maybe it's because of the "Permission denied to local storage" notification when starting this app? But it should give you the option to grant such permission. The command I run is: "tail -50 /storage/folder/*". On my old phone I used the Remote Executer app which returned the result of this command, but unfortunately it is no longer being developed, and I can't install it on my new phone.
