Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Running Local Script from SSH with SUDO Post 302953926 by TioTony on Wednesday 2nd of September 2015 04:05:55 PM

I played around with this a bit out of curiosity and the stumbling block seems to be the stdin redirection to sudo. For example, the following works fine:

ssh -t user@host sudo -u user <command>

Any attempts I used to change the command to include redirection would not work.

I also tried ideas similar to this with no luck

cat /path/to/local.sh 2>&1| ssh -t user@host sudo -u user <&1

I couldn't locate any details specific to sudo not working with redirection but that appears to be the main issue from my testing. I tried various switches with ssh and sudo like ssh -t and sudo -S or sudo -n, but was not able to get a combo that worked.

Any reason you cannot copy the script to the destination machine instead of trying to run it from a local location?

NAME
mtailrc - Configuration file for monkeytail DESCRIPTION
A monkeytail configuration uses Apache-style syntax to declare "groups" of files to be tailed. Best explained with an example: <group testgroup> prefix 'server2: ' sudo yes <file> filename /var/log/apache2/access.log prefix 'server1: ' host server1.example.com </file> <file> filename /var/log/apache2/access.log host server2.example.com sudo no </file> </group> OPTIONS
All options can be either put inside a group or file block. Options inside a file block override those in the group block. filename filename filename defines the filename for this block. host remote-host (optional) host defines that this block's file is to be tailed on a remote server. sudo yes|no|1|0 sudo is a boolean specifying whether this file should be tailed as root. This option is supported for both local and remote files (in both cases you will potentially be prompted for your password). prefix "string: " prefix allows you to specify a short string that will be prepended to every line that is displayed for that given file.
