ssh environment configuration

[Andrei Ghinescu]

i need to launch ssh user@IP "something" a remote command but when i do so something is not executed because it's not part of current PATH or there's no environment variable set to help me for that. Actually by doing this remote thing user's profile is not loaded but some general profile.
Can you help me with this issue?

Thanks

SSH loads a very limited and safe environment.
You can add and adjust the environment
by setting values in $HOME/.ssh/environment.
This is read and loaded by ssh during startup.

Alternatively, and safer, run a script that
configures the environment and runs your command or use a fully qualified path like
/usr/local/bin/mycommand.

If I don't have any environment file in .ssh folder should i manualy create it?
And later on detail what i need to set in there?
But what about the path it's importing anyway ? Where from does it take that?

[Ivan Ferreira]

For simplicity and security reasons, is always advisable to run the command specifying the full path.
