I am trying to connect a remote machine thruogh ssh and want to tar one directory and copy the tar file in my local machine. My script file looks like this ************************** !/bin/sh Date=`date -I` ssh -l tomcat www.MyRemoteHost.net tar -cvf /opt/tomcat4/MyDir/bk-$Date.tar /opt/tomcat4/webapps/MyApp/ scp tomcat@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:MyDir/bk-$Date.tar . ************************** When I run this script in my local machine it ask for password of user tomcat, after supplying the password it connects to the remote machine and does not execute the rest of the commands. Can any one suggest the right script? Thanks in advance. Sanjay ________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
