General :: Call Putty/plink To Start A Remote SSH Script With User Input?

Jan 18, 2010

Execute putty to start a script on a remote linux server which requires user input The remote script does a read -p "Please enter name" NAME I can use plink to execute a script over SSH, the following attempts and problems are shown below :- Note the -load ns is to load a session that doesnt exist, ie ensure no defaults are used

1) plink.exe -load ns <ip_addr> -l <user> -pw <password> <script path/name> Problem) Doesn't allow/show user input, ie its non-interactive.

2) Add -t to allocate a pty :- plink.exe -t -load nc <ip_addr> -l <user> -pw <password> <script path/name> so now the user input can be seen, but I get Ctrl+H (^H) when backspace is pressed, ok if the user doesnt make a mistake!

3) Use putty instead with a saved session putty.exe -load "SavedSession" Get a new window opened, not a biggy, but not as nice. (b) saved session cannot be easily moved. (c) Get password prompt, cannot provide password like with plink, I know I know, use keys, but this is a closed, private network, and its easier not to bother with keys!I would like the SSH to execute in-line, that is from within the batch file/command line shell I am in, not prompt for username/password, run the linux script and allow prompts and delete/backspace to work.

General :: Call Putty / Plink To Start A Remote SSH Linux Script With User Input

Jun 27, 2011

Seemingly simple question, which yields slightly undesired results. Execute putty to start a script on a remote linux server which requires user input The remote script does a read -p "Please enter name" NAME I can use plink to execute a script over SSH, the following attempts and problems are shown below :-
Note the -load ns is to load a session that doesnt exist, ie ensure no defaults are used

1) plink.exe -load ns <ip_addr> -l <user> -pw <password> <script path/name> Problem) Doesn't allow/show user input, ie its non-interactive.

2) Add -t to allocate a pty :- plink.exe -t -load nc <ip_addr> -l <user> -pw <password> <script path/name> Problem) Ok, so now the user input can be seen, but I get Ctrl+H (^H) when backspace is pressed, ok if the user doesnt make a mistake!

3) Use putty instead with a saved session putty.exe -load "SavedSession" Problem) (a) Get a new window opened, not a biggy, but not as nice. (b) saved session cannot be easily moved. (c) Get password prompt, cannot provide password like with plink, I know I know, use keys, but this is a closed, private network, and its easier not to bother with keys!

So ideally, I would like the SSH to execute in-line, that is from within the batch file/command line shell I am in, not prompt for username/password, run the linux script and allow prompts and delete/backspace to work.

Programming :: Run The Scripts On Remote System Using Plink?

Nov 6, 2009

I want to run the scripts on remote system using plink. Here I am using pipes concept .I created two pipes And I want to handle the output and error in two different files. If host key (available in /.putty/sshhostkeys file) is not available or is not match then we will get "Store key in cache? (y/n)" message from child process into error file. If parent process reads this message then we will send "yes" if not then we will continue to next step and parent process will wait until exit child process .

In this bug case, host key did not match and response came late from child process into error file and parent process took it as host key already available and waiting for exit status of child process using waitpid(). But here "yes" did not send for running commands and exit the child process.Hence it is hanged at waitpid(). Please help me how to solve this issue.

I tried this in following way:

#include<stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/types.h>

General :: Get User Input Into A Script ?

Nov 5, 2009

I have a section of a script that is supposed to change the filename of similar files in a directory. It works the way I need it to work, except that I would like to input the new filename each time it runs without having to edit the script.

I capture 5-6 images into ~/screenshots. They are labeled Picture 1.png, Picture 2.png, etc. I would like to be able to rename them as Lesson 1.png, Lesson 2.png, and so forth. It works if I hardcode the new NAME (Lesson) into the script, but I want to replace NAME with a variable that I can input at a prompt or pass into the script from another. I have tried setting a variable and replacing "Lesson" with $variable in line #11, but that leaves me with only the extension and no filename.

I have also tried using $1 on the command line:

Here is what I have that works:

How do I get a variable into this script?

General :: Bourne Shell Input From File Using - Then Return Control To User?

May 5, 2011

I have a program that I run from the terminal that requires manual input (it's matlab in mex debugging mode, matlab -Dgdb, which starts the GNU C debugger with its own custom settings).

Every time I run this program I always type in the same few commands in the program's interactive shell before I actually start working (for example: run -nojvm; stop at mexFunction; continue). I want to avoid typing these commands and I thought I could do this with shell scripting, saving the commands in the mycommands file, then running: myprogram < mycommands

The problem is that this runs all the commands and then exits the program. I want it to run the commands and return control to me so I can run my commands. Is there a way to tell the shell to use a file or a string as the input to a program then immediately return control to the user without the exiting the program?

General :: Log A User In A Remote Computer Using Ssh?

Jun 9, 2010

I want to connect to a server via ssh and log in (remotely) a user in X11 (gdm).A little context: I need to install a wine application in 30 computers, but wine require X11, there is nobody loged there, so wine does not work properly. I want to remotely login in display=:0.0 a user so this user receive the window (it only start and close), there i need to ()neThere is no one logged on there. I need to start a graphical app there (wine installer) but I cannot because it needs a display with X11 (to open a wineconsole).

Resumen: Is it posible to log a user remotely on X11 My config: every computer have fedora 10 and gnome. Clarification: I do not want to do X-forwarding, I want to show the window on the remote computer, not mine. I want to log the user on the remote computer. If I go (fisicali) to the computer, the user should be logged on.

Update: I asked to gdm developers, but I had no answers... I'm starting to think there is no way. The only option I can think is to config autologin, restart gdm, and get the config normal again (all by script) But I have to read a lot for that and is not so important, I prefer to log in manualy 30 times.

General :: Start X Application On Remote Server?

Dec 7, 2010

I've been trying to make a cgi script that starts a program on a server and then shows the program on the servers screen. The cgi script is written in perl. I've been successful in making the program showing up on the screen through ssh by setting $DISPLAY to :0.0, I tried setting it to this in /etc/profile but when the cgi script ran nothing showed up on the screen. I tried having the script running it as a local user with "su - [user] -c [command]", this didn't help either.

In short what I'm trying to accomplish. When I press a button on a web page an slide show is supposed to start on a screen connected to the server.

General :: Start Up Gnome Desktop From Remote Terminal?

Jul 27, 2009

I looked around for threads addressing this issue and some have come close to answering it, but I have yet to see a definitive yes or no. Anyway - Here's my issue:

Background:
I can SSH into my home computer (Ubuntu 9.04 running Gnome) from work (Win XP Pro) using RealVNC via Putty tunnels. This has been working flawlessly for me for awhile now. I was messing around in the terminal window and accidentally rebooted the linux box (home computer) while I was at work. No big deal I thought. So I re-start the Putty connection, and it is back up in no time. Then I try to start the VNC connection, and no go, connection refused. I remember seeing that in order for the VNC connection to work, I had to be logged into the Gnome desktop already on the Ubuntu box.

Question:
Is it possible to log in and start up a Gnome desktop session from the terminal command line in Putty so I can get the VNC connection back?
