IP Networking

Can you run the commands interactively through Plink ok?
So can you:

Code:

plink user@remotehost

and then run the commands individually?

I'm also not sure where the

Code:

sh: /export/home/ms104u/test.sh: No such file or directory

comes from unless you're using symlinks.

I have some clue if it help other resolve my error.

Code:

plink -v -ssh user1@remotehost pwd
Password:
Access granted
Opened channel for session
Started a shell/command
/home/CSDEV13-PT/user1
Server sent command exit status 0
Disconnected: All channels closed

However when i login to remotehost using putty and fire this command

Code:

user1@csdev13: /export/home/user1 $ cd /home/CSDEV13-PT/user1
ksh: /home/CSDEV13-PT/ms104u:  not found
user1@csdev13: /export/home/user1 $ hostname
csdev13

Kindly help !!

What version of *nix are you trying to connect to?

Can you use some folder outside of home, like /var/tmp/ to see if that works? It looks like it might have something to do with the way your home directory is being mounted or at least referenced.

I think I have moved a step further.

The remote ip that i was giving to plink is NOT the actual remote ip that has the x.sh script.

The reason it asked for password twice using putty is once for the remotehostA and then it somehow automatically switches to some other RemoteServerB which then asks for the password again.

Can you help me determine where and how is the automatic hopping from remoteserverA to remoteserverB happening ? where and what to look inorder to reveal the mystery.

Because I will eventually need to incorporate this hopping mechanism in my plink windows script inorder to automate everything.

I'm afraid I can't help you with that, I simply don't know. I suspect it may have something to do with how NFS shares are mounted, but without more details of your exact network layout and OSs etc, I don't think anyone would be able to help much further.

Do the commands I suggested work if run using a fixed folder like /var/tmp/ on the first remote server?

Yes they do run.

However, my job's pending unless I get this hopping of unix server sorted out.

Any clues by any one to begin with.

Shall I open a new Thread for this or should I expect response on this thread.

Ok, first things first.

Can you describe in as much detail as you can what the network topology of your systems is?

Also, can you confirm which flavour of Unix you are running on each server?

Lastly, can you check if home directories are mounted via nfs or use some other distributed file system?

I'll take this as far as I can and hopefully get enough info to point to the right place to solve this.
