Hi Manuel,
Thankyou for your suggestion, is there any chance of getting the above
scripted by yourself. I've never used autoexpect before. I appreciate
the advice anyway.
If security is not a concern, write a simple script that accepts the
password and provides it to sshpass (which isn't packaged for Fedora as
it's a huge huge security nightmare): http://freshmeat.net/projects/sshpass/
e.g.:
[sam@sam ~]$ export SSHPASS=mypass
[sam@sam ~]$ sshpass -e ssh unixdb2-vm
[sam@unixdb2-vm ~]$
In your case, you'd want something like "sshpass -e scp /etc/hosts
orion:/etc/"
