how to get servername?

[p62483t]

Does any one knows how I can get the servername that my script is runnin on?

 

[KenCunningham]

put a uname -a command within the script?

I want to be good, is that not enough?

 

[KenCunningham]

Or simply uname -n for the server name only.

I want to be good, is that not enough?

I am very new at this can u give me an example? I want to get the name and put it as part of a path

 

[p62483t]

I got it thanks you for your help!!!!

 

[KenCunningham]

Sorry I was at lunch. Glad you sorted it!

I want to be good, is that not enough?

Can you tell me how can i asign the returned value to a variable?
something like this but i don't know the exact sintax

servername = "uname -n" maybe?
servername = "$(uname -n)" maybe?

then i want to display the servername
echo "servername" = servername maybe like this ?

sorry i don't know the sintax jet...

 

[KenCunningham]

try:

export SERVERNAME=`uname -n`

echo $SERVERNAME
Note tha the ` in the above are back-ticks (usually found above the tab key), not regular apostrophes.

i have a question about shell script and SCP, i found some example on the net how to write such scripts, but they are all assume that there is no password, anybody have any idea how to write a shell script to upload a file to a server that will ask for password. using SCP.??

Try this on the machine you want to copy FROM. Type the command...

ssh-keygen -t rsa

Just hit return for all of the prompts. Don't enter a passphrase.

Then type the following command, where "[tt]myuser[/tt]" is your username on the machine you want to copy TO, and "[tt]desthost[/tt]" is the machine you want to copy TO.

cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh myuser@desthost "cat - >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys"

You will be prompted for a password when you do this command.

You should then be able to copy a file like this in a script without needing a password...

scp file.ext myuser@desthost:file.ext

Oops! Developer1001, you should start your own thread if you have a question, not piggyback on someone elses thread on a different topic. I didn't read carefully and thought you were the original poster asking more.
