Dear Bjartur,

I don't dissagree about your opinion that involves ssh utillity to do this job (it could possibly also keep a look of systems that you recently connect also)
but together with ssh there also are rsh/rlogin, telnet,  and other remote connection software that can be used from cli. I discuss the possibillity to integrate such a command that keeps tracks of recent systems, current system, system connection path (hostA->hostB->hostC) and distribute this information accordingly to each system you connect/disconnect. If anyone has furthermore ideas or is interested on a tool like this, hope will reply.

BR

I doubt that should be included in coreutils. I could see the utility
of such an utility, and think packagers of SSH servers could well
suggest it, but I can more easily imagine a number of installations
where `hostname;pwd` would be as good, if not better.
