Auto SSH

[mediation]

Dears,

When i use the following script to connect to another server using SSH i got the output below .. please advise how to resolve this problem ??

#!/bin/ksh
{
sleep 1
echo "password\r"
sleep 1
echo "commands\r"
sleep 1
echo "exit\r"
sleep 5
}|ssh -l username ip.address


Output:
========
Pseudo-terminal will not be allocated because stdin is not a terminal.

usename@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx's password:

and it is waiting to insert the password although it is written in the script.



Thanks in advance for your quick reply.

why not set up trusted keys between the the hosts?
You could then issue you command something like this:

ssh user@remote_host_name "a command; another command"

without having to pass passwords, etc.
If you are not sure how to set up keys, go here:

http://www.unixpeople.com/HOWTO/configuring.ssh.html

It covers open AND commercial ssh.

If you must use passwords, then you you should look into using expect along with ssh. Here is an expect link that should help get you started:

And what about this ?
}|ssh [!]-t[/!] -l username ip.address

Hope This Helps, PH.
