Shell Programming and Scripting

hi All,

There is a requirement where i need to call a script which is on another server(say server2).
Any pointers on how i can achieve this?

I tried the command

Code:

ssh **ipaddress** /home/mqm/jay.sh

but its not working...after typing in the command the cursor goes to the next line thats it......

Please help me on this
Thanksin advance

In priciple, this is correct. You can test it with e.g. ssh **ip** ls -l. Maybe your script expects some terminal input?

the syntex is correct. please check key sharing, ping, connection b/w both systems. also check if there script requires some input from user

First, check if you need to create the key or if you already have one:
then

ssh-keygen
ssh-copy-id remote
ssh-add -l

This Thread is developing into a guessing game.

Please post what Operating System and version you are running on both computers and what Shell each computer uses.

Please post the contents of /home/mqm/jay.sh. We would be looking for lines containing Shell read commands.

Have you tried ssh -n switch in case your script is picking up input not intended for it.

Hey,

Could me explain me liitle more,you want perfrom a task, for which you are running the scripts on server 1,in between of task you need input or output from server 2 or you want run the script from one server to another.??

After this i can provide extact syntax..

Regards
Nick

Hi,

I have a script in server1 which checks the all the directories if any unprocessed messages are there or not. It creates a file mailinfo.txt on that server which has the information of the directories having unprocessed messages. At the end of the current script i need to call a script( say action script) on server2. The action script(from server2) just has to check the size of mailinfo.txt on server1 and if its 0 send a mail saying 'there are no unprocessed files in the directories" and if the size is more than 0 send out the mail with the content of the mailinfo.txt.

P S: i have to send the mail fromsever2 only as the firewall restriction on server1 doesnt allow to send out mails.
