The solution I came up with for this problem was to use expect. In my situation, setting up keys was not an option, so I had to use password authentication. You can even use expect to create an interactive ssh session with autologin, however I have found that certain high-ascii characters can cause the expect session to hang before going interactive. ymmv. -G Regards, Gavin McDonald ======================== EVI Logistic Enterprises email: me@xxxxxxxxxxxx phone: (604) 313-3845 > -----Original Message----- > From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list- > bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of joe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Sent: Wednesday, May 03, 2006 4:50 AM > To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx > Subject: AW: how to give password for ssh connection from shell script > > Hi Krishnaprasad, > > I had the same problem some time ago... but I got NO solution...
