Script does not read input file
Hi everyone, I have problems with this script.
This script should check for a folder for each server in the list of the list.txt file.
The script only checks the first host, and then exits, why?

Code:
#!/bin/bash
file='/etc/list.txt'
while read line; do
echo $line
if ssh root@$line "stat /var > /dev/null 2>&1"; then
echo "File exists"
else
echo "File does not exist"
fi
done < $file

thank you very much for helping

And, while you are at it, please use MEANINGFUL THREAD TITLES too. What is a title like "help script" (your title until i changed it) to tell a potential reader, hmm? All people coming to the "Shell Scripting" forum need help with their scripts, don't you think so?

Welcome to the forum.


That's because the ssh eats up all stdin from the redirected file. Try its -n option.
