Hi,

(Edit)

Just checking, but are you running it with the filename as an argument ? e.g. ./script.sh serverlist.txt or something like that ? The script takes the first argument ($1) as the filename to be read and processed.

I ask becasue if you were just running ./script.sh on its own will never return a prompt, which is what you describe. In that usage case it would be sitting waiting for you to type in the input yourself, and would only proceed with execution after you did a Ctrl-D or otherwise indicated the end of input.

It's also possible of course that the issue is with the ssh or passwd parts of the script now as well. You may need different flags to passwd, something like passwd --stdin on a Red Hat-style system.

NAME

       script - make record of a terminal session

SYNOPSIS

       script [-a] [filename]

DESCRIPTION

       The  script  utility  makes a record of everything printed on your screen. The record is written to filename. If no file name is given, the
       record is saved in the file typescript. See WARNINGS.

       The script command forks and creates a sub-shell, according to the value of $SHELL, and records the text from this session. The script ends
       when the forked shell exits or when Control-d is typed.

OPTIONS

       The following option is supported:

       -a    Appends the session record to filename, rather than overwriting it.

NOTES

       script places everything that appears on the screen in filename, including prompts.

ATTRIBUTES

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

WARNINGS

       script  can  pose  a  security risk when used in directories that are writable by other users (for example, /tmp), especially when run by a
       privileged user, that is, root. Be sure that typescript is not a link before running script.
