Provide Password using to the application using the shell script
Hello,
I have a requirement to shut down and start up my application on different environments (Dev, QA and Prod).
I have around 24 servers. I have to login to each server manually for shutinng down the application.
I wrote a shell command on each server and I am invoking those shell scripts from one server and shutting down.
Here is the issue now. I have problem in shutting down few servers using shell scripts because they need password before it shutdown.
I am executing the shell scripts with root access.
Is there any way that I can issue the password in the Shell itself so that the application will read the password from the shell script itself when it required?
I am new to this forum and LINUX as well. Need help to fix that instance so that my job will become easy
here is the shell script I am using to shut down my node
#!/bin/sh
############################# STOP NODES ###############################################
#stop the node node1
cd /opt/app/node1/bin/
./stopnode1.sh
#########################################################################################
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Raju

shell
shell(1F) FMLI Commands shell(1F)
NAME
shell - run a command using shell
SYNOPSIS
shell command [command] ...
DESCRIPTION
The shell function concatenate its arguments, separating each by a space, and passes this string to the shell ($SHELL if set, otherwise
/usr/bin/sh).
EXAMPLES
Example 1 A sample output of shell command.
Since the Form and Menu Language does not directly support background processing, the shell function can be used instead.
`shell "build prog > /dev/null &"`
If you want the user to continue to be able to interact with the application while the background job is running, the output of an exe-
cutable run by shell in the background must be redirected: to a file if you want to save the output, or to /dev/null if you don't want to
save it (or if there is no output), otherwise your application may appear to be hung until the background job finishes processing.
shell can also be used to execute a command that has the same name as an FMLI built-in function.
NOTES
The arguments to shell will be concatenate using spaces, which may or may not do what is expected. The variables set in local environments
will not be expanded by the shell because "local" means "local to the current process."
