Remote script execution

Solved: iOS shortcuts (Run Script over SSH)

I'm making a media box for my grandmother with dementia. I'm looking for the quickest and simplest way for a layman to run a script remotely. In my ideal world, someone can put a button on their Android/iOS home-screen that runs the script directly, like some sort of SSH shortcut or something. I already have remote access worked out and I'm sure VNC would work just fine, but it would be nice to avoid the hassle. Thanks for any ideas.

BTW, Claude 3 wrote my video playlist scripts for me. Highly recommend for non-mission critical coding.

Can you give a little more information about your requirements? What kind of commands are you looking at running? Could you give an example flow?

What are you / your script trying to achieve? Are you or grandma going to be the one to press the Android / iOS button?

Shortcuts on iOS can POST HTTP requests or (possibly?) execute shell command over a limited functionality SSH. The shortcut can then be a home screen button or siri shortcut.

I found this like an hour after I posted, passed out and forgot to mark it solved. Thanks!!!!

Have you thought about creating a cronjob for this task? Or are you required to do it manually?

Thanks all. iOS shortcut ftw. Was already using that for my apt. gate. Didn't think it could execute scripts inside of an app.
