Multi-hop SSH

If you are constantly ssh-ing into boxes you better automize a little bit your daily work, especially if to get to some of them you have to go through multiple hops.

You can generate and authorize keys from one server to the other and then later on issue a command like:
ssh -t user@firstHost "ssh -t secondHost \"ssh -t thirdHost\""
You can even use Remoto-IT to deploy the above POB Recipes remotely in multiple servers.

You can BTW open several of these complex connections from just one command in multiple tabs in your terminal application. Here is how to do it in gnome.
