Well, you can do anything you send with ssh. You can send a whole script to ssh host ksh. You can have a list of hosts and ids in a flat file to drive it while read hi do done <file_list. You still need to type in the id unless you wrap the whole thing in expect or the like, to get the password prompt for the controlling terminal back to your script's control. For instance, if you get ssh localhost working without a password, you can
Code:
echo $PASSWD | ssh localhost ssh there command

PS: remove any old as you add new so it is repeatab le without creating duplicates:
Code:
(grep -v 'id'' <file ; echo "$new")>/tmp/new_file;cat /tmp/new_file >file

NAME
ssh-argv0 -- replaces the old ssh command-name as hostname handling SYNOPSIS
hostname | user@hostname [-l login_name] [command] hostname | user@hostname [-afgknqstvxACNTX1246] [-b bind_address] [-c cipher_spec] [-e escape_char] [-i identity_file] [-l login_name] [-m mac_spec] [-o option] [-p port] [-F configfile] [-L port:host:hostport] [-R port:host:hostport] [-D port] [command] DESCRIPTION
ssh-argv0 replaces the old ssh command-name as hostname handling. If you link to this script with a hostname then executing the link is equivalent to having executed ssh with that hostname as an argument. All other arguments are passed to ssh and will be processed normally. OPTIONS
