If all your commands are systemctl, then you just have to ^p and edit/rerun, but there isn't a `systemctl $EDITOR /some/file`, so you'll have to ssh to run emacs (or use TRAMP, if using emacs), at which point you might as well just have a shell on the other end and do everything without having to tack --host onto your commands
I don't know. Maybe. It seems like something that could be handy, but I don't yet know how much I'll wind up using it. For what it's worth, I was working on a scenario exactly like this earlier tonight, and I wound up just ssh'ing into a shell on the remote box to do stuff. But that might just be inertia from being used to doing that, or maybe it was because I had a lot of other stuff to do on that box at the same time...
