URGENT: how can I log in to a remote system using a shell script!!!

ahmad2080 · 07-08-2009, 11:14 AM

Here is my small script:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
ssh 10.0.0.5
thepassword

Now when i launch the script, it doesn't log into the remote system but prompts me for the password although I wrote the password in the script..

How can I make the Shell read the password from my script???

You cant do this this way - you might look at creating an expect script (just look at autoexpect to get an idea)

You mean at autoexpect in the web??
cause I didn't find it in my man pages.....

Thanks for your help/.

...and if you succumb to typing in your password anyway, why not save time, use ssh-agent and type your passphrase once instead?

Thanks everybody, I've found this: http://bash.cyberciti.biz/security/e...-login-script/

It describes how to "SSH login expect shell script to supply username and password"....
