Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Ssh multiple hops to execute commands with arguments Post 302922979 by gandolf989 on Wednesday 29th of October 2014 02:50:24 PM

You might want to go to the server where you want the command to run and write a shell script that defines all of the variables that it needs and doesn't rely on a .bashrc or any other login script, ideally with no input, and get that to work. Then exit out of that server and in the next to last server before logging into the final server write a shell script that calls the script you just wrote and passes any variables that it might need and test it, then repeat that process with each previous server.

The benefit will be that you are testing each level as you go, and not trying to figure out why something doesn't work when its 5-10 levels deep. Hopefully I am not helping you to hack someone else's server. Smilie

NAME
installsieve - user utility for managing sieve scripts SYNOPSIS
installsieve DESCRIPTION
installsieve is a utility that allows users to manage their sieve scripts kept on the server. OPTIONS
-v <name> View script with the given name. The script if retrieved sucessfully is output to standard output. -l List all of the scripts currently on the server. If one of the scripts is active a arrow is printed indicating that it is the active script. -p <port> Port to connect to. If left off this defaults to "sieve" as defined in /etc/services. -i <file> Install a file onto the server. If a script with the same name already exists on the server it is overwritten. Upon sucessfully putting the script on the server the script is set active. If <file> has the extension .script it is chopped when put on the server since sieve names may not contain a '.'. -a <name> Set <name> as the active script. The list of available names can be obtained from the '-l' option.. -d <name> Delete the sieve script on the server with <name>. -m <mechanism> Force installsieve to use <mechanism> for authentication. If not specified the strongest authentication mechanism is chosen. -g <name> Get the sieve script with <name> and save it to disk with a ".script" extension. If a file with that name already exists it is overwritten. -u <user> Userid/Authname to use for authentication; by default, the current user. CMU
