another command similar to expect
Hi ,

I just wondering if there is any command that works similar to the expect command. I'm trying to setup a korn shell script that goes to remote servers and executes a command likes :

su - username -c "script to execute "

but then it'll prompt for the password so if I can provide the password using other method rather than expect would great. Bytheway this is scripts are run against db2 instances on unix.In some server I have more than 30 instances so if I can do this in a automated matter would be a lot better. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

If you want to execute any command or script on the remote server without asking password then you can use "SSH".
