Hey guys, I'm trying to echo my password into some commands inside of a bash script. But I think I'm going about it incorrectly. Here's the top part of my script: #!/bin/bash pub="~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub" dps_pass="my_pass" ssh="/usr/bin/ssh" scp="/usr/bin/scp" for i in 10.10.10.2{5,6} do echo "xfring key up" echo $dps_pass | $scp $PUB digitalplatform@$i: And here's how it executes: #bash -x deploy_key.sh + pub='~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub' + dps_pass='nbcuV01P!' + ssh=/usr/bin/ssh + scp=/usr/bin/scp + for i in 10.10.10.2{5.6} + echo 'xfring key up' xfring key up + echo 'my_pass' + /usr/bin/scp /Users/my_user/.ssh/id_rsa.pub digitalplatform@10.10.10.25: Password: Can someone please let me know where I'm going wrong?
