I need to execute a shell script on a remote linux box. But the shell script resides on the local linux box where I am currently logged in. Is there a way to do this? I know rsh <host> <command> can execute a command on the remote host.

When I am sorting a file I am getting a warning message
"Warning: A newline character was added to the end of file".

Please let me know hwy I am getting these warnings.

Thanks
Sumit

hi,

login as root on your local machine and copy the sh file to remote system using scp command and ssh to remote system and execute there.

sumitc,

Don't hijack anothers thread but start a new thread.

Thanks.

Is it interactive? does it require entering password?

I need to automate this - i.e., I need to write a script which does this (run the local script on the remote box) on may be 100 boxes one by one.
