running commands from local bash script on remote machine

ridonkulous

Hi All,

I have a script on my local machine. When I run the script it opens up Putty and connects to a remote location through ssh. Now the problem I am having is then running commands from my local script in the remote location. No matter what I seem to try in the script nothing seems to happen in the remote console. Its probably something relatively easy that I am missing here but I have looked up a few things on the web and nothing seems to work for me.

All I basically want to do is ssh from my current location to another one and then change into the relevant directory on the new console and then run a script that is stored in the remote location. The output of this script then creates some files that I then want to save/transfer back on my local machine.


Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Eoin

Please post the script.

1) ssh from my current location to another one
2) and then change into the relevant directory on the new console
3) and then run a script that is stored in the remote location.
4) The output of this script then creates some files that I then want to save/transfer back on my local machine.

In your script are you using putty.exe or putty's plink.exe program?

Something like

plink user@host "cd mydirectory; ./myscript "
pscp -batch user@host:/home/user/mydirectory/myoutput c:\temp

Sorry I can't put up the script as it contains nothing but sensitive data but I just realised its not the script that is the problem its running the commands in putty that seems to be causing the problem. Im just googling some stuff now but I haven't found a solution yet. If anyone can help me out or has knowledge of running scripts through Putty I would be extremely grateful. Basically all I have working at the minute is the execution of putty and the putty login. The remainder of the script then does not run in putty but when I end the putty session the script attempts to run on my local machine.

Putty's plink.exe and pscp?

plink is the console version of putty for non-interactive logins.

pscp is the remote file transfer over ssh application.

Thanks for that Im using plink now and some of the stuff is now working as expected. I do still have one problem when I attempt to ssh into another console but its more a syntax problem more than anything else I think. Thanks again.
