Hello All,

I need a bash script (that doesn't use EXPECT) to change my password on multiple servers. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Kenneth

We'll be glad to assist....so post what you've written/tried so far, and tell us where you're stuck. We will NOT write scripts for you, though...read the "Question Guidelines" link in my posting signature.

Here is the script I tried:
#!/bin/bash
host_name="MYSERVERNAME"
#file_name="server_list.csv"
echo -n "Enter username you want to change the password on the list of server : "
read username
echo -n " The username you entered is "$username". Is it correct (y/n)?"
read answer
if [ $answer = y ]
then
#for i in $(cat $file_name);
#do
hostname=$hostname
ssh $username@$hostname 'passwd'
echo ">>>>>>>>> SUCCESSFULLY CHANGED THE PASSWORD >>>>>>>>>>"
#done
else
echo "!!!!!!!!! your answer does not match to continue. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!"
exit 1
fi
exit 0



Here is where I am stuck:
ssh: Could not resolve hostname : Name or service not known

Your defined variable is host_name not hostname.

Thanks..please use CODE tags when posting code, to make things easier to read.

The reason is, you've got lines commented out..specifically, the ones where you open the file, then where you read it. You're never defining the $hostname variable....but on the second line, you're defining host_name...which is different.
