Re: Perl script to run sudo command(s) on multiple boxes without the use of expect module.

[i5513]

Hello durgesh_p,

Why do you not want to use expect?

Do you have public key infraestructure handling ssh access to your account?

Not perl related, but you could consider see ansible

PD: I have a perl script to use 'ssh server "su - -c xxx"' , but it is using expect, it is called as_root
PD2: To run it on several machines I would use pdsh (still on code.google.com :( )

[durgesh_p]

There are risks associated with " Expect " with handing passwords... Ansible is an option , but looking for a simple script based solution...

[i5513]

All scripts which have a password inside will have the same problems that using Expect to introduce password, isn't it?.

I think it is better to use pki and passwordless specifics sudo commands

Regards
