remote-shell

This package provides easy establishing of remote-shell (in shell-mode). The main feature is the support of remote edit (e.g. git commit, crontab -e, ...). The aim is to do it simply, with no security risks and without even needing emacs on remote host. This is first draft. Still need to improve to eliminate any user intervention in establishing remote edit.

      chmod +x $EDITOR_PATH
      export EDITOR=$EDITOR_PATH
