Sending SMB Client Commands Through Shell Script
 
Hello.

I have a shell script, which I am using to access the SMB Client:

Code:
#!/bin/bash
cd /home/username
smbclient //link/to/server$ password -W domain -U username
recurse
prompt
mput baclupfiles
exit
Right now, the script runs, accesses the server, and then asks for a manual input of the commands.

Can someone show me how to get the commands:
Code:
recurse, prompt, mput baclupfiles and exit
to be run by the shell script please?

Do you want those commands run by smbclient? If so a "here document" should do it.

Code:
#!/bin/bash
cd /home/username
smbclient //link/to/server$ password -W domain -U username << ENDOFMYSMBCOMMANDS
recurse
prompt
mput baclupfiles
exit
ENDOFMYSMBCOMMANDS

Thanks linosaurusroot! That solved my problem!

It's a nice neat solution too - I like it :)
