Allow commands from other apps to be forwarded to host

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'm also looking for a similar feature as "Issue 380" where you can mark a 
specific host as to "allow commands from external apps". An intent-filter in 
ConnectBot could then listen for commands from other apps and forward them to a 
specific predefined SSH host in ConnectBot. Parameters needed would be 
"Nickname of host", "command to execute" and perhaps "parameters for command". 
If the predefined host isn't connected, the connection should first be 
initialized, and then the command should be executed.

This would allow a secure integration between android applications and 
SSH-servers. An example of this would be that "tasker" could execute actions on 
a remote host by using an SSH-connection that has been predefined in 
ConnectBot.

I second this feature request. I don't suppose one could bind 
stdout/stdin/stderr to streams or anything, but perhaps stdout could be cached 
and handed over to the calling app?

It'd also be great if files could be sent/received.

I'd like to use this for APG (http://code.google.com/p/android-privacy-guard/), 
where it would allow direct import of GPG keyrings via SSH, which would be 
terrific.

Seconded aswell. A Tasker plugin to automatically establish a ssh connection 
and execute a series of commands would be sexy.
