script for ssh-ing and logging out

Morbert

Hi,

I'm trying to write a script that automatically ssh-es into a network, executes a command, and logs out

ssh <login-node>
<command>
exit

I know the trouble is with "scope". Are there ssh options that will let me get around this? So that I can perform the command on the login-node via a script executed off the login node?

Thanks

If you want to log in via a script then you must set up ssh keys to remove the need for a password.

The remote execution of the command is very simple :
ssh myuser@myremotelocation "some command"

That will log in to the remote location, execute the command and log out.

Also check out expect. Can be useful also.
