i have logged in as user.
I want to write a script to login into root and execute commands for eg. ifconfig or other command.
kindly help me out.
sudo should allow you to do what you require.
$ cat myscript.ksh
ssh -l root HOSTNAME
echo "WELCOME to ROOT"
<do your stuff>
exit
$ sh myscript.ksh >> myscript.log
Will prompt for the password of root and you have to give manually.
i know the password of root.
I want to write the script in such a way that it should not promt for the passwd and directly login into root
i dont think host name is required. Because i am working in same system.
If any user would be allowed to run that, try a SUID script.
With sudo, you can control who can execute the command as root, and whether or not they need a password for that.
can u explain in detail
