Description

Currently mosh-server starts a login shell if a command is not passed to mosh.

I would like to be able to specify a custom command (on the server side) that is used instead in this case. E.g. by specifying it in /etc/defaults/mosh-server or /etc/mosh/config.

Research direction

Start by tracing how mosh-server handles a connection when mosh passes no command. Review the proposed configuration locations, /etc/defaults/mosh-server and /etc/mosh/config, and determine how a server-side default command should be selected. Done means a configured command replaces the login shell only when no client command is supplied.
