Running julia over ssh

General Usage
1

If I run julia over ssh:

ssh user@host julia -i

it doesn’t seem to give me prompts, though it does respond to commands, even though I passed the -i “interactive” option. Is there any way I can get it to do this?

I’d also be interested in colors which don’t seem to appear.

I didn’t test this, but it’s probably related to whether a pseudo-terminal is allocated. What happens if you try

ssh -t user@host julia

? I don’t think you’ll need the -i.

I can confirm that ssh -t works:

seth@hydrogen:~ $ ssh -t red julia
Enter passphrase for key '/home/seth/.ssh/id_rsa':
