I need to execute shell script on my remote linux machine. Do you know any tools that can help me doing that?
Thanks,
You can connect through ssh passing a command as a parameter:
ssh user#remote.ip.address "~/myscript.sh"
To connect without password, use ssh keys. To use keys, you have to generate a pair at your machine, with the command:
ssh-keygen
Then take the contents of the file ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub (or id_dsa.pub if you use parameter -t dsa in ssh-keygen) and put in the file ~/.ssh/authorized_keys of the remote_machine. The .ssh dir must have permission 700.
For Python you can use Paramiko to run commands on the remote computer over SSH.
Passwordless remote execution without waiting for remote script to complete before terminating the ssh connection:
ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa user#remote nohup sh /path/to/script.sh > /dev/null 2>&1 &
If you want to execute a local script on remote host
ssh remotePassword#remoteHost < localScript.sh
If you want to invoke a script on remote host
ssh remotePassword#remoteHost "remoteScript.sh"

I am calling a remote ssh through putty and hitting some commands say 'ls' now I want to be able to store its response into a text file into my local system from which I am making remote ssh call ? is this possible ? if so plz share
plink remotessh -l user -pw password
ls
You can do this but not with Putty as far as I am aware. If you can run a cygwin environment and use ssh directly you could do the following:
ssh user#host -- ls > output.txt
With plink as per #Ferrybig's comment (thanks!)
plink user#host -- ls > output.txt
I want to transfer some files from my local to remote, like github does it. I want to happend it very smooth like in shell script. I tried creating one shell script which automates the process of ssh authentication without password but for first time it exposes my remote server password. I dont want to do it that way. Like in git we can't see their server password. Is there any possible way that we can do ?
I used this article script to automate ssh login. http://www.techpaste.com/2013/04/shell-script-automate-ssh-key-transfer-hosts-linux/
As i mentioned, you can use the scp command, like this:
scp /local_dir/some*.xml remote_user#remote_machine:/var/www/html
This requires that you need connect to the remote machine without password, only with ssh key-authentication.
Here is a link: http://linuxproblem.org/art_9.html to help you.
The important steps: (automatic login from host A / user a to Host B / user b.)
a#A:~> ssh-keygen -t rsa
a#A:~> ssh b#B mkdir -p .ssh
a#A:~> cat .ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh b#B 'cat >> .ssh/authorized_keys'
#!/bin/csh
ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no xyz123#remotemachine.com
sudo -su rootuser
ksh
. /mydir/setup_env.ksh
ls -ltr
Above is the list of task i need to do.
Login into remote machine without password prompt
Run Sudo to get access to Root
Change shell to ksh
execute a script (setup_env.ksh)
List files using ls -ltr
When i execute this script from , lets say localunixmachine.com...
It ask me for password
once i enter password , it will transfer to remote machine but wont execute remaining commands
If i exit from remote session, it will execute remaining command.
Can you please Guide me whats the best way to accomplish what i am trying here.
first you can copy your ssh public key which you can generate ssh-keygen to authorized_keys to the remote server root/.ssh/authorized_keys
and then the script will be
ssh root#remotemachine.com "/bin/ksh mydir/setup_env.ksh"
I think this should work for executing multiple commands remotely:
#!/bin/bash
ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no xyz123#remotemachine.com <<EOF
sudo -su rootuser
ksh
. /mydir/setup_env.ksh
ls -ltr
EOF
As for login to the server without password, you need to setup ssh authentication with keys.
I want to run a shell script using SSH which takes resource from other machine while the script is in some other machine, all on the same network. I don't want to copy the resource to the local machine.
Note: The shell script takes .txt file as input
If you have script.sh on server1 and file.txt on server2, you can connect through ssh to server1, and then do:
[user#server1]$ ssh user#server2 "cd mydir && cat file.txt" | ./script.sh
Try this:
ssh USER_NAME#HOST_ADDRESS "BASH_SCRIPT_FILE_PATH"
You will need to provide password whenever required.
If your script is in Machine A, you can't run that on Machine B without copying it over. First, copy the script over to Machine B using scp
[user#machineA]$ scp /path/to/script user#machineB:/home/user/path
Then, just run the script
[user#machineA]$ ssh user#machineB "/home/user/path/script"
This will work if you have given executable permission to the script.
OR
Try this one..
<hostA_shell_prompt>$ ssh user#hostB "ls -la"
That will prompt you for password, unless you have copied your hostA user's public key to the authorized_keys file on the home of user .ssh's directory. That will allow for passwordless authentication (if accepted as an auth method on the ssh server's configuration)
I not fully understand your question. Other answers gave "How to run remote script?"
But i think question is Remote script has to take remote file, even I not sure about this
Login Remote PC using ssh.
Install sshfs if not installed .
Then mount other remote machine directory which has the file you want to use in script to local directory. This can be done using sshfs
Then run the script with file from locally mounted directory
Then unmount the directory when you finished.
Somewhat large procedure.
Mounting remote directory with sshfs
man sshfs
I have a bash script I'm using to connect to a remote server via ssh. That works, however I want the script to immediately pass the command of cd /some/dir after connecting. That doesn't seem to be working. Here's my code:
#!/bin/bash
echo "SSHing.."
ssh -i ~/.ssh/some-site.pem xxx#yyy.com
cd /some/dir
read
How can I have the cd command be executed right after SSH connection is established?
There are two easy ways to execute commands via SSH from inside the script:
1) ssh user#host 'command'
2)
ssh user#host <<<EOF
command1
command2
<...>
commandn
EOF
Normally you'd just edit your ~/.profile on the remote machine.
If that is not an option, you could do something like this:
ssh -t theserver.com 'cd /some/dir && bash -i'
You can use the following command
ssh user#watevr <the_cmd_to_be_executed>
You can try this :
ssh abc#hostname :/pathto/specific directory
