Bash: how to make script ask RSA key accept?

postcd · 02-13-2014, 03:45 AM

Hello,

i have command:

Code:

sshfs -o idmap=user root@myip:/home/folder /home/folder

it normally asks me like this:

Quote:

The authenticity of host '*** (<no hostip for proxy command>)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is ***.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting?

But when added into bash script, along with other commands before, after it, it dont asks anything and just output:
read: Connection reset by peer

Please how to make the bash script ask me like when im placing this command alone in shell?

Once you answer 'yes' it is supposed to remember it (file ~/.sshd/known_hosts), and don't ask anymore. So I think you should consult log-files on the remote side to find out why did it close the connection.

If the script runs without a controlling terminal, it obviously cannot ask for reply.
eg:

Code:

$ tty
/dev/pts/0
$ nohup tty
nohup: ignoring input and appending output to `nohup.out'
$ cat nohup.out
not a tty
