I need to run an interactive program in the background so I can grep it for specific data to use for some logic in a script.

There is no quiet or background mode on the program so I plan to...

FYI Have now tested code and implemented a change following NeutronScott's tip. See working function:

Hello forum,

I want to have a function to test for passwordless SSH setup. Pretty simple. However, what I'm finding difficult is to NOT return a password prompt to screen IF it's not in place.
...

Unfortunately none of these fixes my issue. Actually the "-s" switch without the "--" worked for me with my direct (no sesu) command. Here is the working command.

I found a way to alter it - have to have here doc (EOF) in speech marks ; "EOF"
so that it's all sent as plain text (nothing is exapanded etc.) so that any commands run on the remote host - not the...

it's set in the greater programme so it's OK. The sub-script within $() is the problem I believe. It seems to me that it's evaluated before the here doc is passed to the SSH --- I want it to be run...

I'm trying to use Here documents to pass several commands to a remote server over SSH. However I'm having problems. The code is as follows:


nohup ssh $i_hostname exec /usr/bin/ksh -s << EOF >>...

A quick, and wonderful response - thank you - one more thing though. How would you run your final version there in the background (so if it's in a script that script can continue on while that code...

Hello,
I am trying to find a way to send several sequential commands via SSH to a remote box in a single command.
Thoughts so far:

1) Can I put them into a function and call the function within...
