So if I understand and am reading the error correctly the * is not expanding on the remote machine? I think this because tee looks good but the terminal doesn't like the *. I am testing this on ubuntu but will use it on centos. Thank you .
Code:
for ID in "${array[@]}" ; do
echo "( cd /path/to/${ID}*/*/folder && exec sshpass -f file.txt scp xxx@xxx.xx.xx.xxx:path/to/destination/${ID}-cn_results.png )"
done | tee /tmp/tmp.txt | sshpass -f out.txt ssh -o strictHostKeyChecking=no -t xxxx@xxx.xx.xxx.xx
terminal output
Code:
-bash: line 1: cd: /path/to/ID1*/*/folder: No such file or directory
-bash: line 2: cd: /path/to/ID2*/*/folder: No such file or directory
Hi,
I'm trying to write a function that redirects the contents of an
array to a file. The array contains the lines of a data file with
white space.
The function seems to preserve all white space when redirected
except that it seems to ignore newlines. As a consequence, the
elements of the... (7 Replies)
Hi Guys,
I have a file which has numbers in it separated by newlines as follows:
1.113
1.456
0.556
0.021
-0.541
-0.444
I am using the following code to store these in an array in bash:
FILE14=data.txt
ARRAY14=(`awk '{print}' $FILE14`) (6 Replies)

I have figured out how to grep the file like this:
echo `grep $(date +'%Y-%m-%d') Cos-01.csv | cut -d',' -f1`

Hi,
I'm trying to write a bash script that takes a file and passes each line from the file into an array with elements separated by column.

sshpass
SSHPASS(1) Sshpass User Manual SSHPASS(1)NAME
sshpass - noninteractive ssh password provider
SYNOPSIS
sshpass [-ffilename|-dnum|-ppassword|-e] [options] command arguments
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents the sshpass command.
sshpass is a utility designed for running ssh using the mode referred to as "keyboard-interactive" password authentication, but in non-
interactive mode.
ssh uses direct TTY access to make sure that the password is indeed issued by an interactive keyboard user. Sshpass runs ssh in a dedicated
tty, fooling it into thinking it is getting the password from an interactive user.
The command to run is specified after sshpass' own options. Typically it will be "ssh" with arguments, but it can just as well be any other
command. The password prompt used by ssh is, however, currently hardcoded into sshpass.
Options
If no option is given, sshpass reads the password from the standard input. The user may give at most one alternative source for the pass-
word:
-ppassword
The password is given on the command line. Please note the section titled "SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS".
-ffilename
The password is the first line of the file filename.
-dnumber
number is a file descriptor inherited by sshpass from the runner. The password is read from the open file descriptor.
-e The password is taken from the environment variable "SSHPASS".
SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS
First and foremost, users of sshpass should realize that ssh's insistance on only getting the password interactively is not without reason.
It is close to impossible to securely store the password, and users of sshpass should consider whether ssh's public key authentication pro-
vides the same end-user experience, while involving less hassle and being more secure.
The -p option should be considered the least secure of all of sshpass's options. All system users can see the password in the command line
with a simple "ps" command. Sshpass makes a minimal attempt to hide the password, but such attempts are doomed to create race conditions
without actually solving the problem. Users of sshpass are encouraged to use one of the other password passing techniques, which are all
more secure.
In particular, people writing programs that are meant to communicate the password programatically are encouraged to use an anonymous pipe
and pass the pipe's reading end to sshpass using the -d option.
RETURN VALUES
As with any other program, sshpass returns 0 on success. In case of failure, the following return codes are used:
1 Invalid command line argument
2 Conflicting arguments given
3 General runtime error
4 Unrecognized response from ssh (parse error)
5 Invalid/incorrect password
6 Host public key is unknown. sshpass exits without confirming the new key.
In addition, ssh might be complaining about a man in the middle attack. This complaint does not go to the tty. In other words, even with
sshpass, the error message from ssh is printed to standard error. In such a case ssh's return code is reported back. This is typically an
unimaginative (and non-informative) "255" for all error cases.
EXAMPLES
Run rsync over SSH using password authentication, passing the password on the command line:
rsync --rsh='sshpass -p 12345 ssh -l test' host.example.com:path .
To do the same from a bourne shell script in a marginally less exposed way:
SSHPASS=12345 rsync --rsh='sshpass -e ssh -l test' host.example.com:path .
BUGS
Sshpass is in its infancy at the moment. As such, bugs are highly possible. In particular, if the password is read from stdin (no password
option at all), it is possible that some of the input aimed to be passed to ssh will be read by sshpass and lost.
Sshpass utilizes the pty(7) interface to control the TTY for ssh. This interface, at least on Linux, has a misfeature where if no slave
file descriptors are open, the master pty returns EIO. This is the normal behavior, except a slave pty may be born at any point by a pro-
gram opening /dev/tty. This makes it impossible to reliably wait for events without consuming 100% of the CPU.
Over the various versions different approaches were attempted at solving this problem. Any given version of sshpass is released with the
belief that it is working, but experience has shown that these things do, occasionally, break. This happened with OpenSSH version 5.6. As
of this writing, it is believed that sshpass is, again, working properly.
