I have tried to run the following command from command line and it works perfect as expected
ssh someIP "java -jar /path/program.jar "someIP""
but when i wrote in the bash script as following:
ssh $f1 \"java -jar /path/program.jar \"$f1\"\" ;
where $f1 is the ip address. it does not work and gives me the error:
bash: java -jar /path/program.jar someIP: No such file or directory
I tried to echo the ssh command and it is correct and i just copied the echoed command and pasted on the command prompt and it has worked. So I am now confuse, what is wrong in the bash script that I am missing
You can try not to escape.
#!/bin/bash
ssh $1 "java -jar program.jar "$1""
You could try EOF.
ssh $1 << EOF
#commands here
EOF
After the commands are done the connection is severed.

I am trying to execute a command on a remote machine, grep the output, put it in a file and then close the connection.
This is what I have:
#!/bin/bash
sshpass -p ***** ssh user#remotemachine | grep 'TEXT' > output.txt
The script is stops and there is no output in output.txt
Any ideas how I can script this?
try this.
#!/bin/bash
sshpass -p ***** ssh user#remotemachine " grep 'TEXT' > output.txt"
in your shell script,you just use ssh login in your remove server,and after executing ssh command,then run grep in you local machine,so ,you get nothing
Regardless of why, I am trying to write a script that will let me send a command to various addresses. There is a shared key for the user, so there is no need for logging in. But this isn't working.
So, the following will not work...
#!/bin/bash
ip=$1
shift
args="'$#'"
cmd="ssh user#$ip -C $args"
output=$($cmd)
If I execute it with the following:
./myscript.sh 10.0.1.2 /bin/ls -l /var
I get the error of "ls -l /var: No such file or directory"
If I run that command (ssh user#10.0.1.2 -C '/bin/ls -l /var'), it works fine.
What am I doing wrong? These are the same installs of RHEL6.
Apparently, the quotes were confusing bash. The following works...
ip=$1
shift
$(ssh -o ConnectTimeout=1 User#$ip "$#")
I have a shell script that I am using to compare directory contents. The script has to ssh to different servers to get a directory listing. When I run the script below, I am getting the contents of the server that I am logged into's /tmp directory listing and not that of the servers I am trying to ssh to. Could you please tell me what I am doing wrong?
The config file used in the script is as follows (called config.txt):
server1,server2,/tmp
The script is as follows
#!/bin/sh
CONFIGFILE="config.txt"
IFS=","
while read a b c
do
SERVER1=$a
SERVER2=$b
COMPDIR=$c
`ssh user#$SERVER1 'ls -l $COMPDIR'`| sed -n '1!p' >> server1.txt
`ssh user#$SERVER2 'ls -l $COMPDIR'`| sed -n '1!p' >> server2.txt
done < $CONFIGFILE
When I look at the outputs of server1.txt and server2.txt, they are both exactly the same - having the contents of /tmp of the server the script is running on (not server1 or 2). Doing the ssh +dir listing on command line works just fine. I am also getting the error "Pseudo-terminal will not be allocated because stdin is not a terminal". Adding the -t -t to the ssh command isnt helping either
Thank you
I have the back ticks in order to execute the command.
Backticks are not needed to execute a command - they are used to expand the standard output of the command into the command line. Certainly you don't want the output of your ssh commands to be interpreted as commands. Thus, it should work fine without the backticks:
ssh user#$SERVER1 "ls -l $COMPDIR" | sed -n '1!p' >>server1.txt
ssh user#$SERVER2 "ls -l $COMPDIR" | sed -n '1!p' >>server2.txt
(provided that double quotes to allow expansion of $COMPDIR are used).
first you need to generate keys to login to remote without keys
ssh-keygen -t rsa
ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub remote-host
then try to ssh without pass
ssh remote-host
then try to invoke in your script but first make sanity check
var1=$(ssh remote-host) die "Cannot connect to remote host" unless $var1;
I have a script (say run.py) and I want to scp that to a remote machine (say 10.1.100.100), cd into a directory in that remote machine, and execute run.py in that directory.
How do I wrap the above procedure in one single bash script? I don't know how to let bash execute commands remotely in another machine.
Hopefully I can see that stdout of run.py in my terminal. But if I can only redirect it, that's fine as well.
chmod +x ./run.py
scp -pq ./run.py 10.1.100.100:'/home/myremotedirectory/run.py'
ssh 10.1.100.100 'cd /somedirectory && /home/myremotedirectory/run.py'
See if that helps
How to run a local script over SSH
Synopsis:
Script execution over SSH without copying script file.
You need a simple SSH connexion and a local script.
Code:
#!/bin/sh
print_usage() {
echo -e "`basename $0` ssh_connexion local_script"
echo -e "Remote executes local_script on ssh server"
echo -e "For convinient use, use ssh public key for remote connexion"
exit 0
}
[ $# -eq "2" ] && [ $1 != "-h" ] && [ $1 != "--help" ] || print_usage
INTERPRETER=$(head -n 1 $2 | sed -e 's/#!//')
cat $2 | grep -v "#" | ssh -t $1 $INTERPRETER
Examples:
- ssh-remote-exec root#server1 myLocalScript.sh #for Bash
- ssh-remote-exec root#server1 myLocalScript.py #for Python
- ssh-remote-exec root#server1 myLocalScript.pl #for Perl
- ssh-remote-exec root#server1 myLocalScript.rb #for Ruby
Step by step explanations
This script performs this operations:
1° catches first line #! to get interpreter (i.e: Perl, Python, Ruby, Bash interpreter),
2° starts remote interpeter over SSH,
3° send all the script body over SSH.
Local Script:
Local script must start with #!/path/to/interpreter
- #!/bin/sh for Bash script
- #!/usr/bin/perl for Perl script
- #!/usr/bin/python for Python script
- #!/usr/bin/ruby for Ruby script
This script is not based on local script extension but on #! information.
You can do it like this:
ssh -l yourid 10.1.100.100 << DONE
cd /your/dir/
./run.py
DONE
Above has been edited, I don't remember what it was like originally, if I want to do it in one single connection, I will do it this way.
ssh -l yourid 10.1.100.100 python < <(
echo "import os"
echo "os.chdir('/yourdir')"
echo "print(os.getcwd())"
cat yourscript.py
)
Remember, that this is not a rule, that you HAVE TO cd to the requested directory.
Once you get access to the remote machine, just type a relative path to this file, without using cd:
/some_folder/./run.py
I have a bash script that basically should work like below:
get build number from user and put it in buildNum var
prep the build on local machine by calling a local script with buildNum as it's argument
sftp the prepped zip file to remote server1
Do this:
ssh -v $server1 <<EOF
rm -rvf path1-on-remote-server1/*
cd path2-on-remote-server1
unzip ../prepped-zip-file-$buildNum.zip
exit
EOF
sftp the prepped zip file to remote server2
The problem i am having is that on the forth step of number 4, $buildNum is not known to the remote server and it fails.
I tried the following two solutions and both failed:
use double quotes "unzip ../prepped-zip-file-$buildNum.zip" which resulted in "unzip ../prepped-zip-file-11.6.zip: Command not found.
tried to get the build number again from the user during the SSH session which failed again by not even waiting for my input and looking for a zip file without the build number at the end of the name, as the var was empty,
i did :
ssh -v $server1 <<EOF
rm -rvf path1-on-remote-server1/*
cd path2-on-remote-server1
echo "enter build num once more: "
read bNum
unzip ../prepped-zip-file-$bNum.zip
exit
EOF
Any suggestions on how to achieve what i am after.
Thanks in advance
Are you sure this doesn't work?
ssh -v $server1 <<EOF
rm -rvf path1-on-remote-server1/*
cd path2-on-remote-server1
unzip ../prepped-zip-file-$buildNum.zip
exit
EOF
When I try it on my machine, with cat instead of ssh -v $server1 for testing, the variable does get substituted into the here-document, just as if the entire document had been on a command line. The remove shell never needs to know there was a variable in the first place.
Actually, though, you may want to give the remote command on the ssh command line rather than redirecting the standard input. This would be more robust in case some of the parts of it unexpectedly decide to try reading from stdin:
ssh -v $server1 "rm -rvf path1-on-remote-server1/*
cd path2-on-remote-server1
unzip ../prepped-zip-file-$buildNum.zip"
(Note that multi-line double-quoted strings are okay with bash).
#!/bin/sh
printf "Enter Build Number: "
read BUILD_NUM
cat << EOF | ssh $server1
hostname
echo "${BUILD_NUM}"
uptime
EOF
That works for me.
