Invoking another scipt on another server

[byuen]

Hi, imt rying to invoke another script on another server, and i am approaching it this way:

telnet xx.xxx.xxx.xxx username password
run_script.ksh

does anyone know how to do this?
I want to write a script that telnets into another machine with username adn password, and then run a script that is on that machine.

thank you,
Brian

Try using [tt]rsh[/tt]. It's not a telnet, but it does run a script on another machine. See the man page for [tt]rsh[/tt]. You would run it something like...

   rsh somehost -l someuser run_script.ksh

On the other system, you would need to set up either a [tt]hosts.equiv[/tt] file or a [tt].rhosts[/tt] file to allow you in. The man page should show how to do that.

One nice thing about using this approach is that you don't have to hard code a password in your script.

Hope this helps.

On some *nix rsh is called remsh or rcmd.
