find_rshcmd(which = NULL, first = FALSE, must_work = TRUE)

Arguments

which	A character vector specifying which types of SSH clients to search for. If NULL, a default set of clients supported by the current platform is searched for.
first	If TRUE, the first client found is returned, otherwise all located clients are returned.
must_work	If TRUE and no clients was found, then an error is produced, otherwise only a warning.

A named list of pathnames to all located SSH clients. The pathnames may be followed by zero or more command-line options, i.e. the elements of the returned list are character vectors of length one or more.
