Pass root password through script
I have several clients (over 120) connected to my server. I want to push some patch to all the client using a script which copies the file from the server to a specific path on the client and then installs it.
But for installation of the patch, it needs to be done thorough root login on client. Root password for all clients is 123456
How do I pass the password through the script.
