AW: how to give password for ssh connection from shell script

[Alessandro Simula]

Try this: (save it on a file and exec it)

cat > myssh.sh <<EOF
#1 Here you put clear text password. Beware!
echo '!#/bin/bash'   > /tmp/pswd.sh
echo "echo XXXXX" > /tmp/pswd.sh
chmod +x /tmp/pswd.sh

#2) export your varibles
export DISPLAY=:0
export SSH_ASKPASS=/tmp/pswd.sh

#3) Finally...
setsid ssh user at host
EOF

Then:
 . myssh.sh
