Hello,

I need to run

SERVERS="server1 server2...."
for b in $SERVERS
do
echo $b;
ssh $b grep 'abstract-photos.com' /etc/named.conf
echo "";
done

but before this need to add the ssh key:

exec ssh-agent bash
ssh-add /root/.ssh/my-key/

how can I include in the same script both so that when I run the script it prompts for the paraphrase and run the script?




and kind of the same with an script that creates a user on the system

/usr/sbin/useradd myuser
passwd myuser
mkdir ~/downloads
cd ~/downloads
wget...

how to write this so it does not cut off when requesting for the password?


Regards,

Cosmin

You can either use sshpass to set password in script or use ssh keys for passwordless login:

1. sshpass: Login To SSH Server / Provide SSH Password Using A Shell Script
2. Howto Linux / UNIX setup SSH with DSA public key authentication (password less login)

Thanks for the solution but rather than storing the pass better typeing it once before starting the script.


about this other thing:

/usr/sbin/useradd myuser
passwd myuser
mkdir ~/downloads
cd ~/downloads
wget...

how to write this so it does not cut off when requesting for the password?

Are you talking about wget password?

I want to create a script to install nagios addon on several machines.

but when pasting

/usr/sbin/useradd myuser
passwd myuser
mkdir ~/downloads
cd ~/downloads
wget http://surfnet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/
wget http://surfnet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/
tar xzf nagios
tar xzf nagios
......................

it shows all this and prompts for the pass , after entering the pass it does not complete the rest..

mkdir ~/downloads
cd ~/downloads
wget http://surfnet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/
wget http://surfnet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/
tar xzf nagios
tar xzf nagios
......................

can it be somehow that I paste the block of code and it is beeing procesed line by line? and wait for user input where it is needed.
