SSH Remotely
Hello. I am trying to ssh and run a script from a remote computer. These computers will be both Windows and MACs. I am using Solaris 8 and what I have tried is:

using putty
Code:
ssh user@ip_address (remote command) /folder/folder/filename.sh

The issue here is that the user profile has not rights, it is used to get in and then su - root to gain access. Is there a way to do this within putty or another ssh client? Thanks

You'd have to use the expect brute-forcing utility to force it to accept a stored password.

I am looking into expect. I was able to write a short script...
Code:
#!/usr/sh
su - root /folder/folder/filename.sh

When running as a user it prompts for the root password, I enter and go on but using ssh it does not run...never prompts me for a password. Any thoughts? Thanks

If you don't mind putting the root password <not secure> into a script, here's an easy way to use expect as Corona mentioned to run a command as root:

Code:
#!/usr/bin/expect -f
#
#

# define password
set p "password"

# command to run
set cmd "<command to run as root>""

# spawn the command
spawn su - root -c "<command to run as root>"

# look for the password prompt
expect "?assword:*"

# send the defined password followed
# by a carriage return
send -- "$p\r"

# send a final carriage return
send -- "\r"

# done
expect eof
