    If you're using a recent OpenSSH, check the ssh(1) man page for
    ControlMaster and ControlPath.

    You don't need to scp the script to execute it, though. Try:
    $ ssh yourserver /bin/sh <script.sh

     Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
