Shell Programming and Scripting

Hello All,

Here I am trying to login a Linux machine as admin user from a Solaris box..

& then switch to root user..

Code I use:

ssh admin@<IP> << END
su - root  << A
echo "Hello I am logged in as root"
exit
A
exit
END

But the error I get..

su: must be run from a terminal

:eek:

Can you please help? :confused:

Sudo does not help.. Because the commands I am going to use does not allow using sudo..

So - what's the question that remains?
