Appending crontab using ssh and sudo without root credentials
Hi,

i have two servers say server A and server B. i have a sudo user say user1 with full privilges on server A and B. i am trying to append the crontab entry of root from server A of server B with the following command. But its appending on A. i need to append it on server B.

please find the Command below which i am running on server A which should login to server B and append crontab entry of B. instead its appending on A only.

Code:
/usr/bin/sshpass -p 'password' /usr/bin/ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -l user1 10.10.10.10 -t 'echo password' | sudo -S  bash -c 'echo "30 10 * * * sh test.sh" >> /var/spool/cron/root'
