I want to run a script remotely. But the system doesn't recognize the path. It complains that "no such file or directory". Am I using it right?
ssh kev#server1 `./test/foo.sh`
You can do:
ssh user#host 'bash -s' < /path/script.sh
Backticks will run the command on the local shell and put the results on the command line. What you're saying is 'execute ./test/foo.sh and then pass the output as if I'd typed it on the commandline here'.
Try the following command, and make sure that thats the path from your home directory on the remote computer to your script.
ssh kev#server1 './test/foo.sh'
Also, the script has to be on the remote computer. What this does is essentially log you into the remote computer with the listed command as your shell. You can't run a local script on a remote computer like this (unless theres some fun trick I don't know).
If you want to execute a local script remotely without saving that script remotely you can do it like this:
cat local_script.sh | ssh user#remotehost 'bash -'
It works like a charm for me.
I do that even from Windows to Linux given that you have MSYS installed on your Windows computer.
I don't know if it's possible to run it just like that.
I usually first copy it with scp and then log in to run it.
scp foo.sh user#host:~
ssh user#host
./foo.sh
I was able to invoke a shell script using this command:
ssh ${serverhost} "./sh/checkScript.ksh"
Of course, checkScript.ksh must exist in the $HOME/sh directory.
Make the script executable by the user "Kev" and then remove the try it running through the command
sh kev#server1 /test/foo.sh

I am trying to use the SSHOperator to SSH into a remote machine and run an external application through the command line. I have setup the SSH connection via the admin page.
This section of code is used to define the commands and the SSH connection to the external machine.
sshHook = SSHHook(ssh_conn_id='remote_comp')
command_1 ="""
cd /files/232-065/Rans
bash run.sh
"""
Where 'run.sh' runs the shell script:
#!/bin/sh
starccm+ -batch run_export.java Rans_Model.sim
Which simply runs the commercial software starccm+ with some options I have specified.
This section defines the task:
inlet_profile = SSHOperator(
task_id='inlet_profile',
ssh_hook=sshHook,
command=command_1
)
I have confirmed the SSH connection works by giving a simple 'ls' command and checking the output.
The error that I get is:
bash run.sh, error: run.sh: line 2: starccm+: command not found
The command in 'run.sh' works when I am logged into the machine (it does not require a GUI). This makes me think that there is a problem with the SSH session and it is not the same as the one that Apache Airflow logs into, but I am not sure how to solve this problem.
Does anyone have any experience with this?
There is no issue with SSH connection (at least from the error message). However, the issue is with starccm+ installation path.
Please check the installation path of starccm+ .
Check if the installation path is part of $PATH env variable
$ echo $PATH
If not, then install it in the standard locations like /bin or /usr/bin etc (provided they are included in $PATH variable), or export the installed director into PATH variable like this,
$ export PATH=$PATH:/<absolute_path>
It is not ideal but if you struggle with setting the path variable you can run starccm stating the full path like:
/directory/where/star/is/installed/starccm+ -batch run_export.java Rans_Model.sim
Something like
ssh root#host "ls -l"
works fine
But when I'm trying
ssh root#host "showrgst"
I'm getting "command not found". And yes, I don't have showrgst command on the host I'm connected from.
How to solve this?
you need to install showrgst in the remote server and make sure the PATH env variable has the path to showrgst.
firstly, you can locate what executable is for this command
$ which showrgst
for example, it is executable script from $HOME/bin/showrgst.
So, you need to copy this file to server by means of scp -
$ scp ~/bin/showrgst youserver.com:/home/username/bin/
if this command is executable of some package existing in repositories linux disto, you can install this on your server
I want to run a few shell commands every time I SSH to a server via PuTTY. I'm connecting to a production web server managed by someone else, and I don't want to store my own scripts there.
I see the option Connection > SSH > Remote Command, but if I put my initialization commands there, after starting the session, it closes immediately after the commands execute. How can I run the Remote Command, and then keep the session open so I can continue using it?
The SSH session closes (and PuTTY with it) as soon as the command finishes. By default the "command" is a shell. As you have overridden this default "command" and yet you want to run the shell nevertheless, you have to explicitly execute the shell yourself:
my-command ; /bin/bash
See also Executing a specific command on the server.
One option to go is set up your putty remote command like this:
ls > dir.ls & /bin/bash
In this example command you want to run is "ls > dir.ls" what creates file dir.ls with content of directory listing.
And as you want to leave shell open you can add aditional command "/bin/bash" or any other shell of your choice.
Using the GUI putty.exe, I can connect to my windows server and once it is connected, i can type any command like rename file or mkdir folder and they all work
However, using command line such as
putty -load test -m C:\users\test.txt
or using the GUI putty, but add 1 command to remote command in SSH under Connection, then the command doesn't get executed.
Can anyone explain to me why this is happening or how can i fix this? I am using FreeSSHd on windows 2008 server.
Not sure if this helps, but try adding the /bin/bash directly after your command in the text file. It will keep the window open and you can see what the output of the shell would be if you ran it from the gui.
; /bin/bash
For example if test.txt is running a script
bash myscript.sh
bash myscript.sh; /bin/bash
This is assuming bash.
In jenkins post build action I configured Execute shell script on remote host using ssh
ssh site 10.32.25.66, command:
cd $HOME/appsadm/bin; ./ims-carte-stop
and i again modified
cd /HOME/appsadm/bin; ./ims-carte-stop.*
I tried both these commands and Build is successful, but I see in console output in Jenkins after, that it is not executing my script. I am getting ssh exit status 1 error.
In my winscp my script (ims-carte-stop) in this location home/appsadm/bin.
Please tell me if I am doing aything wrong.
My intention is to stop my server from jenkins automatically whenever the build success.
This may be a typo in your question, but:
You said your ims-carte-stop script is in:
/home/appsadm/bin
whereas your script is doing:
cd $HOME/appsadm/bin
or
cd /HOME/appsadm/bin
Looking at the paths, I am going to assume you are using a UNIX-flavoured OS (Linux, BSD, OSX).
UNIX paths are case sensitive. Your script should be calling:
cd /home/appsadm/bin
Note that the word "home" is all small letter not capitals. Also, using $ makes it a variable, which I don't think you want.
