How to run multiple commands with SSH on a remote server in a bash script? [duplicate]

Question

I want to run a script that checks if the specific folder exists on a remote server then greps a specific line from a specific file in that server to the local machine.

if ssh -t -t user@server [ -d /etc/nginx ]; then
      ssh -t -t  user@server 
ls -1a /etc/nginx/conf.d | grep $1 | xargs cat | grep specific_line | grep  .specific-extension | awk '{print $2}'
fi

I use awk '{print $2}' to print out the second line of the grepd line

SO I want this to be an output in my local machine or even better I want to put that in a variable in the script.

I haven't find anything on the internet that solves even the simplified version of this.

I have PSK enabled on the servers so I don't have to enter the password when I ssh.

...anyhow, can you provide any more details about what you're trying to accomplish? I'd hazard that all your grep/cat/etc. could be replaced with a single remote find ... -exec awk command. — Charles Duffy

I just did something similar using paramiko in Python. I test the sudo privileges of many accounts over hundreds of IPs in a few minutes. You can run the command and get stdin, stdout, and stderr. That should get you started in the right direction 😉

You can use logins and certs with it too if that helps.
