ssh - scripts - password prompt
 

Hello

I have successfully configured ssh, I can login to my remote Linux server without being prompted for a password, however when I try an add this into a script I get prompted for a password...

What Im trying to do is is to login remotely using ssh then run a command using the root user:

From my Linux server I run
sudo -u my_ssh_account ssh my_ssh_account@my-remote-server.com sudo - root /tmp/mycommand

This works, but when I put it into a script it prompts me to enter the ssh accounts password...and Im puzzled

Any thoughts suggestions would be apreciated .

It might asking sudo password.

Can you paste your script

Hello its very basic script

#!/bin/bash
echo "My test command is running"
sudo -u test1 ssh test1@myserver.com sudo -u root -s /tmp/mytestscript.sh
exit


Im just wondering do you have to put sudo su and not sudo -u

just try below

ssh test1@myserver.com /tmp/myestscript.sh
