How to execute bash with ssh connection

Question

I'm trying to write a bash script to automatically do stuff in clients machines in the network. But after the code

ssh -i ~/.ssh/key root@machine

The bash program just stops What can I do to send the command to the remote machine? Thanks

It means the bash stops and the screens shows the connexion with the client's machine, waiting for my command. The programs continues when I type "exit" — nam

Same way as if you were invoking bash directly.

ssh ... somescriptontheserver.sh

ssh ... ls -lR /

ssh ... << EOF
ls -lR /
EOF
