RSH scripting

SAM_24 — Sun, 11 May 2003 00:06:47 GMT

Hi,

I want to execute script on remote system as a particular user

remsh system su - user -c script

Remote script is being executed without argument.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

remesh system /usr/bin/su -c "scriptname "

The scriptname and argument in the su -c must be in double quotes.

You should also make sure the full path is in the scriptname, because you have no path in this setup.

How about...

remsh hostname -l username -n script args

If you don't have the .rhosts or host.equiv file setup then try rexec.

rexec hostname -l username -n script args

hop this helps,

if the script requires root privileges, then you could use sudo.

remsh remote_host "/usr/local/bin/sudo scritp_to_exec"

of course you know you will have to add the script perms in /etc/sudoers file.
