Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi,

I'm newbie in the shell script world and i want to solve some problems I am experiencing.
My main goal is to create a ksh script to use 2 text files as input to execute a local shell script(create user commands in the criar.users.aix file) through a ssh connection in which the list of machines is in the maquinasaix file and each userinfo is a line on the second file(userinfoaix)

The problematic piece of script is the following:
"

Code:

....


                listainfo="$(cat ./userinfoaix)"
                listamaq="$(cat ./maquinasaix)"

                for i in `$listainfo`;
                do

                    for maquina in `$listamaq`;
                    do
                        cacriar.users.aix | ssh $userdeacesso@$maquina
                    done
            
                done
..

"

Any help is welcome.

Consider:

Code:

for i in $(cat ./userinfoaix);
do
    userdeaceso=$i
    for maquina in $(cat ./maquinasaix);
    do
        cacriar.users.aix | ssh $userdeacesso@$maquina
    done

done

1. simply cat the file at the start of the loop. This may not work depending on the format of the file, which we cannot see.

2. userdeacesso was not defined - I set it to $i

3. I am assuming that cacriar.users.aix is a valid, functioning shell script. If you mean to run it on the other machines the syntax you have will not work at all. You have to scp the script over there, then run it using another ssh command

I do not know that any of these changes will work as given, but they address two simple issues. For example, have you set up ssh keys on each remote machine ($maquina) for the use that runs the script? IF not this has to be run interactively.
