Shell Programming and Scripting

In unix i have to start service and it promts to enter port number:

/usr/mydir/ca >./stop_ca_devp

And it prompts message like :

Enter the port number of the server you would like to shut down :

Then I type xxxx then it stops the service.Now what I need is remove manual intervention. SO I need to run stop script from some script by passing port in advance.Can you please help me how to do this?

ThanksKrsna..

try the below option. it might help you.
Before invoke the stop_ca_devp script update the port variable

Code:

port=xxxx
./stop_ca_devp  <<__EOF__
$port
__EOF__

Hi kalpeer,

I have got one more situation where I have to use same login but seems not working.

I am doing ssh:

ssh ip_addr ls -al /opt and this is asking me password. I want to again eliminate this need of entering password again. i tried like

./test.sh:
passd=xxxx
ssh ip_addr ls -al /opt << _EOF_
$passd
_EOF_
______________________

./test.sh
it again ask password?

An you please help me ?

Thanks
Krsna..

hi,

Even I have tried to automate the ssh login with password and am not able to automate it.
one simple thing is you can automate the ssh login using the keys.
below link talks about it
