[PATCH 3/3] torture: Allow specifying alternative ssh command to kvm-remote.sh
From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Fri Sep 18 2026 - 20:47:02 EST
Some environments require use of alternative commands to access the
test hosts. This commit therefore adds a KVM_REMOTE_SSH environment
variable for this purpose. If this variable is unset, ssh is used.
Any alternative ssh command must support the usual ssh arguments,
including the command to be executed remotely. In some cases, you may
need a wrapper script to make the alternative ssh-like command look
enough like ssh to satisfy kvm-remote.sh.
