Hi All,

I have a script to be executed in another machine. I connect to that machine from another server as a root ( this is the only configured access, as i cannot log in as a normal user). After that I have to switch to a normal user and that I can be able to executge that script. But all this is done manually, that why Im interested in finding a way to automate the execution and not typing always:

remsh machine_name
su - sc
./script.sh

Please could anyone help me

Thanks for your reply
I tried what you wrote but it didnt succeed. Here is the output

vasstat1:/tmp/vms1# remsh smsc1 "su - sc -c \"./kot\""
ttytype: couldn't open /dev/tty for reading
You have mail.
stty: : Unknown error
Not a terminal
stty: : Unknown error
stty: : Unknown error
su: ./kot: not found.

Does the script "kot" run as a cron job or does it request input?

The last error can be solved easy:
su: ./kot: not found.

remsh smsc1 "su - sc -c \"<full path to location of kot>/kot\""

It is OK now, I run it successfully. Just one more question. How can I transmitt one or two parameter with the script

E.g remsh smsc1 "su - sc -c \"./kot.sh 2007-01 06845444\""

Is it correct like this?

Looks fine to me

Hi again,

The output of the script above is supposed to be returned to the calling place.
I use rcp like below

rcp -p /var/opt/nokia/smsc/logdata/billfiles/out 172.20.1.25:/opt/output/daily_stats/config

I cannot understand why sometimes works and sometimes no, like today. It gives me this error
remshd: Login incorrect

Any clue?
