UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hi Guys,

So i was able to run putty from command line and login to a server by using following command.

Code:

 
 
D:\putty.exe -ssh -t -t uname@ipaddress -pw passwd -m D:\commands.txt

However, after logging into the server1, it is not performing any command. What am i doing wrong.

Content of commands.txt

Code:

 
ssh server1
VAR1=$(/tmp/abc.sh server1)
echo "$VAR1"

Sorry for intruding. Novice Unix user and new to Servers.

Tried finding Putty for my Windows 7 PC, to access my Sun Fire v210. Anyone know where I can download Putty for Win7 or another good program to use as a Terminal Emulator?

@screenprintr................yep, www.putty.org

Thank you, I'll download that and check it when I get home. If that doesn't work, I'll verify the cable works on another system. I have a switch that uses the same cisco cable.

What does it do? Quit instantly? Just sit there?

Aren't you in server1 already? Or if not, why not ssh to server1 directly?

Code:

echo $HOSTNAME
sleep 1

I had to add the 'sleep 1' because, without it, it ran and quit almost instantly, too fast to see. It works otherwise.

(i) I cant ssh directly to that server. I have to login to a main server. From there i can ssh to any server
(ii) IF the command contains ssh server1 and then other commands, it just logs in to the server1 and it just sits there. Instead, if i just try to run a script ( from the main server) directly by including it in commands.txt , it quits instantly . Ill try including sleep command after running the script. Can you also tell me how to store the output of the script into a variable in command prompt.

Try this:

Code:

VAR=$(ssh server1 /tmp/abc.sh server1)
