ssh -t answering automatically to the password
hi,

i'm using the folowing ssh command to list the newuser "crontab' from myuser

Code:
ssh -t myuser@host1  "sudo -u newuser crontab -l"

this is ok but it is asking me a password.

Code:
Mot de passe de myuser:

The problem is that i want to answer it automatically in a shell script with the password entered previously.

i tried with
Code:
echo "password| ssh......

or
Code:
ssh -t......... << _EOT_
password
_EOT_

it doesn't work

Somebody has an idea ?
regards
Christian

why not let myuser use sudo without passwd then? (configure in sudoers...)

well i'm just a user not an admin , i can't ask to change "sudoers"

i would just catch the question "
Code:
Mot de passe...

."
and answering it.

thanks

The "ssh session " is asking the password once.

but i need to answer it automatically with the script because i chain many ssh commands

ask the admin to change sudoers, then.

If they're not willing to let you do that, they'll be even more horrified at you kludging in insecure plaintext passwords.
