Remote Execution of a Script

[kumar_choudhury]

Hi,

I want excute a script(created by user) which is there in remote sytem.

Can any one help me to do this.

The are many ways to do this.

One is

# ssh user@host command

You can use remsh. If you don't want to enter a password, you must have a .rhosts file (permission 600).

$ remsh machine -n "command options"

BTW, the ssh command works from every system that has ssh installed, not only from one hp-ux to another.
You can do this from win, linux , ...

When i am executing commanding using ssh it works fine but when i am trying run my script it does not works.

>> it does not works

This is not very clear.

If you say "it does not works", make it work ;-)

or come back with a better description of the problem, sorry.

remsh doesn't execute .profile and $PATH is limited. You need to change your script as if it was in a crontab.

According to Dennis there is a simple rule for scripts: use always the full path.

Example.

If you want to use "ls", do
# whereis ls
.../usr/bin/ls...

und use
/usr/bin/ls instead of "ls" in your scripts.

Since ls(1) is in the limited $PATH, you can get away with that. :-)
PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/contrib/bin:/usr/local/bin

But if you want to use any PATHs, aliases or functions defined in .profile or .kshrc, you are out of luck, unless you source these in your script.

Should be a simple example, but isn't the best ...
