With ssh properly setup, all you'd have to do is "ssh kryton sunapp". (Of course, you may not have perms to setup ssh.) Anyway, to do this right, you probably want to expect, instead of bash. That's because entering login names and passwords requires waiting till you're prompted for them. That's a pain to do with regualr shells, but its expects bread and butter. So, do you have expect available? I'd write the script, if you do. -- Jim Crumley | crumley at fields.space.umn.edu | Work: 612 624-6804 or -0378 |
