shange user's pass for all services on a remote host
here is the picture:
a website on server1 & a "username" logged in that site.
The same username has a shell(nologin)/ftp/samba/mail(qmail) acount on server2.
i have s form on server1 that can pass the username & its NEW password to a sript that should change all passwords on server2.

the script must be executed as root on server2, as you can't do "vpasswd username@domain.com" as nonroot.

Thought of expect to do this, but just cant put it all together.
----
server1> ssh root@server2
passwd username
/home/vpopmail/bin/vpasswd username@domain.com
exit
send back result as "success" or "failed"
----
hope you guys can help

NAME

       asadmin-stop-instance, stop-instance - stops the specified server instance and all the services associated with it

SYNOPSIS

       stop-instance  [--user  admin_user]  [--password  admin_password]  [--host local_host] [--port 4848] [--local=false] [--domain domain_name]
       [--secure|-s]instance_name

       Use the stop-instance to stop the instance with the instance name specified. The stop-instance can be run both locally and  remotely.   The
       named instance must already exist within the given domain; and the instance must be running.

OPTIONS

       --user		       administrative user associated for the instance.

       --password	       administrative password corresponding to the administrative user.

       --host		       host name of the machine hosting the administrative instance.

       --port		       administrative port number associated with the administrative host.

       --local		       determines if the command should delegate the request to administrative instance or run locally.

       --domain 	       name of the domain.

       --passwordfile	       file containing passwords appropriate for the command (e.g., administrative instance).

       --secure 	       if true, uses SSL/TLS to communicate with the administrative instance.

OPERANDS

       instance_name	       name of the instance to be stopped.

       Example 1: Using stop-instance in local mode

       asadmin> stop-instance --local --domain domain1 server1
       Instance server1 stopped

       Where: the server1 instance associated with the domain1 domain is stopped locally.

       Example 2: Using stop-instance in remote mode

       asadmin> stop-instance --user admin --password bluestar --host localhost --port 4848 server1
       Instance server1 stopped

       Where: the server1 instance associated with the named user, password, host and port is deleted from the remote machine.
