Set up ssh keys so you don't need to use passwords between the two systems (no interaction). 2. Launch your tasks on the remote VM using screen over ssh by doing something like: ssh user1@1.2.3.4 screen -d -m -S firstsessionname "command you wish to run on the VM" ssh user1@1.2.3.4 screen -d -m -S secondsessionname "second command you wish to run on the VM" 3. If you want to check on the tasks, log into the VM via ssh interactively and check the various screen sessions. I recommend setting the screen session names via the "-S" option so they're easier to differentiate. That should do it. The items in step 2 could be done in a shell script if you're lazy like me. :-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - The trouble with troubleshooting is that trouble sometimes - - shoots back. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
