clamd upgradation in remote mach through local mac by script to be run on local mach


hi Everybody,
I wants to run the clamd upgradation
on the remote servers.I have made a script for that
but how do I run that script on the remote server
When I write a line in My script as autossh 'ip addr of
server'it logins to that server but the script
execution is aborted and when I logout from the remote
server, My script does the clamd upgradation in My local machine. I wants the script to work some thing like this.
My script should ask me for the IP add of the remote server on which clamd upgradation need to be done.As soon as I give the IP address all the further commands of My script which are essential for clamd upgradation should be run on remote machine not in My local machine

Thanks

You need two different scripts:
1) the upgrade script itself, which can run on any machine
2) a second script that copies the first script to the target machine and runs it there (scp, then ssh).

The second script is quite basic. Let's call it "cpex" (copy and exec). Then you would call it with "./cpex machinename scriptname". The script would do the following steps:
- scp scriptname root@machinename:/root -> that copies the local script "scriptname" to the directory /root on the remote machine
- ssh root@machinename:/root/scriptname -> that executes the script.
That is, assuming the script needs to be run as root on the remote machine. If not, use a less powerful userid.
Now both scp and ssh will ask you to enter the password of the remote user. If that is a problem, you need to read on ssh to see how you work with certificates.
