Bash script to login via ssh

[kminev]

Hi,

I am very new to bash scripting and after trying many different things I came to realize I need help

I need to come up with script to to the following:

1) ssh -1 host -l uname
2) wait for password and echo the password
3) after successful login I need to run a command show int status which is a simple IOS command

Any help will appreciated.

Thank you.

SSH allows you to execute a command in the connection string, e.g.:

$ssh host -l username <your_command_here>

See man ssh for more details. If you need the console to wait before quitting in order to read the output:

$ssh host -l username <your_command_here> && sleep 3

[kminev]

Thanks for you post.

I need to login to a managed network switch first and then send a sequence of commands.

I tried you suggestion with command && sleep 3 && command2 but this will execute commands that are BASH not ios as I am logging in to the switch.

Any other ideas?

Thank you.

This solved my problem:

ssh -1 host -l --pw kk >> /EOF

cmd1
cmd2
cmd3

EOF

cmdx executes sequentially.

Thanks everyone.
