how to give password for ssh connection from shell script]

[naslov]

Hello.

Use expect. Some quick example:


set username "user"
set password "somepass"


########

   spawn ssh 111.222.222.111 -l $username
   expect "assword:"
   send "$password\r"
   expect "#"
   send "whatever command to execute"
   expect "#"
   send "exit\r"

Regards,

naslov
