simultaneous SSH with bash scripting

[linuxch1ld]

I've got two asterisk servers that I run tcpdump on in order to sip trace.

Currently I use this command to capture the packets.

ssh root@astbox01 'tcpdump -w - -p -n -s 0 udp' > capture01.cap

Problem is, I have to open up two terminal windows and run my script twice, one for box01 and the other for box02

When I am done the test call, i ctrl+C to exit.

What I want to do is simultaneously run this command on both boxes, with a way to quit both at the same time.

It would be great if I could hard code the passwords into the script as well but this is not necessary. The password is the same for both boxes.

Thank you to all for taking time out of your day to help others.

I not sure and can't test it, i'm under Windows now

if ssh is auto login (ssh with no pass) , try this

ssh root@box1_ip 'tcpdump -w - -p -n -s 0 udp > capture01.cap' &
ssh toot@box2_ip 'tcpdump -w - -p -n -s 0 udp > capture01.cap' &


stop
===============
ssh root@box1_ip 'kill -9 $(pidof tcpdump)'
ssh root@box2_ip 'kill -9 $(pidof tcpdump)'
