I am trying to run the shell script in the remote host , with this i also want to pass some arguments. my local host shell scripts is below
pwd
echo $0
echo $1
echo $2
echo thanku everyone!!
To run this script am using the command
ssh user#server 'ksh' < ./code
I want to pass arguments with this command. please clarify me in this..
Thanks in advance.
You can't pass parameters because you are starting ksh and using ./code as it's standard input.
But you can set an environment variable and then use it as command line, watch!
ichramm#wilderkrieger:~$ cat code
function run() {
echo $1;
echo $2;
}
run $COMMAND_LINE
ichramm#wilderkrieger:~$ ssh localhost 'COMMAND_LINE="hello world" ksh' < ./code
hello
world

I have an SSH command that is able to use variables defined in the script.
Example:
b="03-18-2022"
I'm able to pass this in to my ssh call and use it.
However I want to be able to define $b when I run the script: bash file.sh -b 03-18-2022
.. When I try doing this the SSH command cannot recognize the variable
CODE:
Getting the variable from the input:
while getopts ":b:" arg; do
case "${arg}" in
b) b="$OPTARG";;
esac
done
echo "Locally using begin: $b
printf -v b_str %q "$b"
ssh myserver "bash -s $b_str" << 'EOF'
b=$1
echo "remotely using $b"
The last echo works when the variable is defined in the script but not when it is passed in from the command line
I have a simple Bash script that takes in inputs and prints a few lines out with that inputs
fortinetTest.sh
read -p "Enter SSC IP: $ip " ip && ip=${ip:-1.1.1.1}
printf "\n"
#check IP validation
if [[ $ip =~ ^[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+$ ]]; then
echo "SSC IP: $ip"
printf "\n"
else
echo "Enter a valid SSC IP address. Ex. 1.1.1.1"
exit
fi
I tried to upload them into my server, then try to run it via curl
I am not sure why the input prompt never kick in when I use cURL/wget.
Am I missing anything?
With the curl ... | bash form, bash's stdin is reading the script, so stdin is not available for the read command.
Try using a Process Substitution to invoke the remote script like a local file:
bash <( curl -s ... )
Your issue can be simply be reproduced by run the script like below
$ cat test.sh | bash
Enter a valid SSC IP address. Ex. 1.1.1.1
This is because the bash you launch with a pipe is not getting a TTY, when you do a read -p it is read from stdin which is content of the test.sh in this case. So the issue is not with curl. The issue is not reading from the tty
So the fix is to make sure you ready it from tty
read < /dev/tty -p "Enter SSC IP: $ip " ip && ip=${ip:-1.1.1.1}
printf "\n"
#check IP validation
if [[ $ip =~ ^[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+$ ]]; then
echo "SSC IP: $ip"
printf "\n"
else
echo "Enter a valid SSC IP address. Ex. 1.1.1.1"
exit
fi
Once you do that even curl will start working
vagrant#vagrant:/var/www/html$ curl -s localhost/test.sh | bash
Enter SSC IP: 2.2.2.2
SSC IP: 2.2.2.2
I personally prefer source <(curl -s localhost/test.sh) option. While it is similar to bash ..., the one significant difference is how processes handled.
bash will result in a new process being spun up, and that process will evoke commands from the script.
source on the other hand will use current process to evoke commands from the script.
In some cases that can play a key role. I admit that is not very often though.
To demonstrate do the following:
### Open Two Terminals
# In the first terminal run:
echo "sleep 5" > ./myTest.sh
bash ./myTest.sh
# Switch to the second terminal and run:
ps -efjh
## Repeat the same with _source_ command
# In the first terminal run:
source ./myTest.sh
# Switch to the second terminal and run:
ps -efjh
Results should look similar to this:
Before execution:
Running bash (main + two subprocesses):
Running source (main + one subprocess):
UPDATE:
Difference in use variable usage by bash and source:
source command will use your current environment. Meaning that upon execution all changes and variable declarations, made by the script, will be available in your prompt.
bash on the other hand will be running in as a different process; therefore, all variables will be discarded when process exits.
I think everyone will agree that there are benefits and drawbacks to each method. You just have to decide which one is better for your use case.
## Test for variables declared by the script:
echo "test_var3='Some Other Value'" > ./myTest3.sh
bash ./myTest3.sh
echo $test_var3
source ./myTest3.sh
echo $test_var3
## Test for usability of current environment variables:
test_var="Some Value" # Setting a variable
echo "echo $test_var" > myTest2.sh # Creating a test script
chmod +x ./myTest2.sh # Adding execute permission
## Executing:
. myTest2.sh
bash ./myTest2.sh
source ./myTest2.sh
./myTest2.sh
## All of the above results should print the variable.
I hope this helps.
Below is an example of a ssh script using a heredoc (the actual script is more complex). Is it possible to use both local and remote variables within an SSH heredoc or command?
FILE_NAME is set on the local server to be used on the remote server. REMOTE_PID is set when running on the remote server to be used on local server. FILE_NAME is recognised in script. REMOTE_PID is not set.
If EOF is changed to 'EOF', then REMOTE_PID is set and `FILE_NAME is not. I don't understand why this is?
Is there a way in which both REMOTE_PID and FILE_NAME can be recognised?
Version 2 of bash being used. The default remote login is cshell, local script is to be bash.
FILE_NAME=/example/pdi.dat
ssh user#host bash << EOF
# run script with output...
REMOTE_PID=$(cat $FILE_NAME)
echo $REMOTE_PID
EOF
echo $REMOTE_PID
You need to escape the $ sign if you don't want the variable to be expanded:
$ x=abc
$ bash <<EOF
> x=def
> echo $x # This expands x before sending it to bash. Bash will see only "echo abc"
> echo \$x # This lets bash perform the expansion. Bash will see "echo $x"
> EOF
abc
def
So in your case:
ssh user#host bash << EOF
# run script with output...
REMOTE_PID=$(cat $FILE_NAME)
echo \$REMOTE_PID
EOF
Or alternatively you can just use a herestring with single quotes:
$ x=abc
$ bash <<< '
> x=def
> echo $x # This will not expand, because we are inside single quotes
> '
def
remote_user_name=user
instance_ip=127.0.0.1
external=$(ls /home/)
ssh -T -i ${private_key} -l ${remote_user_name} ${instance_ip} << END
internal=\$(ls /home/)
echo "\${internal}"
echo "${external}"
END
How do I make $1 and $2 variables to the remote shell through ssh. Below is the sample,
#!/bin/bash
user_name="${1}"
shift
user_password="${1}"
shift
tenant_name="${1}"
realscript="/IDM_ARTIFACTS/reset.sh"
ssh -qT oracle#slc05pzz.us.oracle.com bash -c "'echo $user_name'" < "$realscript"
I am able to echo $user_name but not able to access it in $realscript.
Cant call using HERE tags or single quotes'' as the script doesn't have straight forward commands.
What other options do I have? Please help
I do not have your script, so I put a test one on my remote host:
$ realscript=/home/jack/show_params.sh
$ second="second one"
$ ssh TEST cat ${realscript}
#!/bin/bash
nParams=$#
echo There are ${nParams} parameters.
for (( ii=1; ii<=${nParams}; ii++ )); do
echo "$1"
shift
done
$ ssh TEST 'bash '${realscript}' "first one" '\'${second}\'
There are 2 parameters.
first one
second one
The quoting gets a bit weird, but you can pass into parameters variables with spaces.
I need to read the variable from a remote file over SSH and compare it. But I get a variable in the wrong format. how to do it correctly?
#!/bin/bash
pass='dpassspass'
user='root#10.10.19.18'
IP="10.2.1.41"
path=/sys/variable/serv
#not work## No such file or directory# write=$(sshpass -p $ovhpass ssh -t $user echo "$IP" > $path)
sshpass -p $pass ssh -t $user << EOF
echo "$IP" > $path
EOF
my_var=$(sshpass -p $pass ssh -t $user "cd /sys_ovh; ./serv.bash")
echo mystart-"$my_var"-myend
read=$(sshpass -p $pass ssh -t $user cat $path)
echo start-"$read"-end
echo start-"$IP"-end
if [ "$read" == "$IP" ]; then
echo "run"
fi
output:
Connection to 10.10.19.18 closed.
-myendt-10.2.1.41
Connection to 10.10.19.18 closed.
-endt-10.2.1.41
start-10.2.1.41-end
Where I make a mistake? How to take data from the SSH?
The vars my_var and read are filled with a string ending with '\r', telling echo to go back to the first column. I think this is a problem with your local script. You can correct that with
tr -d "\r" < myfile > myfile2
Your fundamental problem comes from using unquoted here documents for the commands. You should properly understand in which order the shell interprets these contructs.
ssh remote cmd >file
executes cmd remotely, but first redirects the output from the ssh command to the local file.
ssh remote "cmd >’$file'"
The quotes cause the redirection to be part of the remote command line. The variable file is interpreted first, by the local shell, though.
ssh remote 'cmd >"$file"`
The single quotes prevent the local shell from modifying the command before sending it. Thus, he variable interpolation and the redirection are both handled by the remote shell, in this order.
So your commented-out "not work" command could easily be fixed with proper quoting. However, it will be much more elegant and efficient to use a single remote session, and execute all the commands in one go. Mixing the local variable IP with remote variables calls for some rather elaborate escaping, though. A major simplification would be to pass the value on standard input, so that the entire remote script can be single quoted.
#!/bin/bash
pass='dpassspass'
user='root#10.10.19.18'
IP="10.2.1.41"
result=$(echo "$IP" |
sshpass -p "$pass" ssh -t "$user" '
path=/sys/variable/serv
cat > "$path"
cd /sys_ovh
./serv.bash
cat "$path"')
echo mystart-"${result%$'\n'*}"-myend
echo start-"${result#*$'\n'}"-end
echo start-"$IP"-end
if [ "${result#*$'\n'}" == "$IP" ]; then
echo "run"
fi
The output from the remote shell is two lines; we pick it apart by using the shell's prefix and suffix substitution operators.
