Bash script on a Linux machine and it needs to connect from it over SSH to another Bluecoat device and run...












0














The idea is to connect to a remote device bluecoat proxy over SSH, let the script do the authentication and execute the commands over in another script, create file with name date & time and save the output to local directory from where the script is running, without the need of upload this script to a remote server.



- I have prepared the script as below: HC.sh



!/bin/bash



HOSTNAME=$1
Date=date +"%b-%d-%y_%I-%M"



ssh user@$1 'bash -s' < Proxy.sh >HC_$1_$Date.txt



- I have another script with set of commands : Proxy.sh



!bin/bash



echo "Please print me to test1"
HOSTNAME=$1



echo " "
echo "********************************** Date***************************************"
show version
echo " "
echo "********************************** Status***************************************"
show date



quit



Both the file have permission set as : -rwxrwxrwx



Executing sh Proxy.sh 192.x.x.x (192.x.x.x device IP) from "Bash on Ubunto on Windows 10" I could prompt for the device, post supplying password, it just not providing anything, immediately go to next line and a file name with 0KB size creating. Basically the Proxy.sh is not running. Could you someone guide me what is wrong with my script ?
