hi,
I have a script abc in a machine xyz. which i can access by sudo su - user. that is i can login to xyz using my id and then switch to user and run the script.
Now what i need to do is run the script from another script in machine xyz1. From xyz1 i can ssh to xyz using my id. Some one please help me in doing this.
thank you
You can do this without having to do the sudo bit, it can be a bit tricky and the man page is a pain to read...
Instead, create some ssh-keys for your user on xyz1. copy the public key to the target user's .ssh directory in in home dir, into the file authorized_keys.
Now ssh as the user on xyz1 using the shiny new private key to xyz and run the script:
ssh -i /path/to/shiny/new/priv_key theotheruser@xyz "/path/to/your/script.sh"
Hope this helps a bit.
Another thing- it will make it easier if you could be a little less cryptic in your question- instead of hosts xyz and xyz1, users user and id you could just give them some names:
I have a script evilscript.sh accessable by eviluser on machine avalon. I have another user called bob on avalon as well. The user bob exists on machine houston.
I want my user bob on houston to log onto avalon then, using sudo, run script evilscript.sh as user eviluser.
makes it a bit easier for people to help you.
