Deleting shell start-up scripts remotely without executing them
While working on VMs on clouds to which we have only ssh access, if we make mistake in some start-up file and want to disable/delete it then we can use command
ssh -tt root@<vm_hostname_or_ip> 'rm -f <filename>'
To just disable script one can use 'chmod 000 <filename>' type of command.
For example this is very useful if we have mentioned 'exit 0' in one of the scripts in '/etc/profile.d' directory.
