Run a shell script from one host which connext to remote host and run the commands

I want to write a script which would run from one host say A and connect to other remote host B and then run rest of commands in that host. I tried connecting from A host to B with SSH but after connecting to host B it just getting me inside Host B command prompt. Rest of the script is not running after ssh is executed...

Any help appreciated Smilie

remsh is the answer

remsh <machine> -l <acc> -n "<whatever you wanna do on remote side>"

or you could ssh like this:
Code:
$ ssh machinename command

e.g.
Code:
$ ssh sunhost "uname -n"

If you want to run this without providing a password you will need to generate keys on the clients and install them into the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file at the remote machine end, see: How to set up ssh so you aren't asked for a password

I used ssh hostname "command " and it does work for me if its a single command. But then there is a bunch of commands. let say I need to go to a specific folder in the remote host and then have to run some commands and so on ...... so how can I do that

any of them can work. you just have to seperate your commands by semicolon & include all of them in quotes. somethin like this

Code:
remsh <machine> -l <account> -n "cd users; ls -l"

i hope u get it.

bellow is a sample for you
================
ssh -n -l username ipadd ". ~/.profile >/dev/null 2>/dev/null; your commands in dest server"

say for example
ssh -n -l amit 101.10.10.10 ". ~/.profile >/dev/null 2>/dev/null; cd log ;ls | wc -l"
