I came across a nifty utility in OS X that allows you to copy / paste data to/from the clipboard without having to select text and command+c/command+v
Michael-MacBook-Pro:~ (michael)> echo foo | pbcopy
Michael-MacBook-Pro:~ (michael)> pbpaste foo
Thats kind of neat. What about connecting to a remote machine, executing some command, and then having that output in the clipboard of your local machine?
Michael-MacBook-Pro:~ (michael)> ssh somehost.com uptime | pbcopy
Michael-MacBook-Pro:~ (michael)> pbpaste 5:26pm up 64 day(s), 8:30, 4 users, load average: 0.04, 0.04, 0.04
