#+CALL and remote execution

#+CALL and remote execution

[Kel Chan]

Hi list,

I'm implementing an executable worksheet in org and wonder if I can call a source block with a :dir arguments.

It doesn't seem orgmode support this out of the box. I tried #+CALL: ping-network()[:results values replace :dir /posiadmin@10.161.25.37:] and noticed two problems: the :dir argument was ignored and only the first row of output was shown in #+RESULT block. 

any ideas for workarounds?

cheers,
kel

Indeed it is possible to pass the :dir header argument through a call
line.  See the description of call line syntax in the manual.

#+name: where
#+begin_src sh
  pwd
#+end_src

#+RESULTS: where
: /tmp

Call the above from somewhere else.

#+call: where[:dir /]()

#+RESULTS:
: /

Cheers,
