Newbie Linux scripting question

[baker0]

All Gurus

I am very new to Linux and im trying to setup an automatic shut down for our linux boxes via our UPS (if there’s a power outage). The UPS only allows a batch file to be run so ive come up with this idea...

I’ve come across plink to allow me to run the Linux command in a batch file:
plink 10.10.60.30 -l root -pw <password> -ssh /nas/sbin/nas_halt now

This works fine but after this command it prompts for a yes. Nas_halt command has no auto setting to input yes so it just sits there waiting for input.

Is there any way I could set this up? e.g getting plink to call a Linux script which calls nas_halt and inputs the yes after?? If so what would this be?

Any help would be superb.
Cheers

baker0, this question would get better attention at this section of the forum. Its a little too advanced for the newbie section. Mark it as solved and open a new thread here Linux Programming & Scripting - Linux Forums
