Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Linux: Writing a tricky script to check connectivity Post 302284217 by drewnix on Thursday 5th of February 2009 02:25:59 AM

Sure scripts can ssh, scripts can do pretty much anything. You can send a command
from a script over ssh like so

ssh <user>@<host> <command>

The issue you get to is if you don't want to type your password every iteration of the
script you want to see about copying your ssh key over to the remote server... Which
you can usually do like this:

# generate local key
ssh-keygen -t rsa

# copy key to remote host
ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub <user>@<remote host>

However that may not work on your modem. After that you can script ssh commands
from that user with out having to type in a password everytime.

NAME
uudemon.admin, uudemon.cleanu, uudemon.hour, uudemon.poll - Administrative shell scripts for polling remote systems, cleaning up spool directories, reporting status to the system administrator, and routine invocations of the uuxqt and uusched daemons SYNOPSIS
These shell scripts reside in the following directory: /usr/lib/uucp DESCRIPTION
All the scripts can be run from the command line or can be run automatically by the cron daemon. To automatically run the scripts, remove the comment character (#) from the beginning of the relevant line in the /var/spool/cron/crontabs/uucp file. This script reports status to the system administrator. It issues the uustat command to find out the status of uucp jobs. It mails the results to the uucp login ID. The script may be modified to send mail to any login ID such as the uucp administrative login ID (uucpa) or root. This script cleans up the /var/spool/uucp and /var/spool/uucppublic directories by running the uucleanup command. The uucleanup com- mand is run with the following parameters: -C7, -D7, X2, -o2, -W1. This script runs the uusched and uuxqt daemons in the background. This script polls the systems listed in the /usr/lib/uucp/Poll file. The uudemon.poll script should be scheduled before the uudemon.hour script. This allows uudemon.poll to create any command files before cron runs the uudemon.hour script. FILES
Contains the uudemon.admin, uudemon.cleanu, uudemon.hour and uudemon.poll files. Contains the uucp file. RELATED INFORMATION
Commands: cron(8), uucleanup(8), uusched(8), uuxqt(1) Files: /usr/lib/uucp delim off uudemon(4)
