hi anurag,
Thanks for the code actually I wanted to havea
script in perl or shell as i dont knw python. It
will
be something like this if the server is up work on
it
else goto next one in list.
Save this shell script and execute.
#!/bin/bash ssh -X foo.bar ssh -X server.home ssh -X something.nothing ssh -X gnu.hbcse
This will try to connect to your ssh servers in that order. If it connects then it will ask for your password. You can enable public key authentication for use with ssh so that it does not ask for any password and uses your public key instead.
Generate ssh keys and copy them to ~/.ssh/ directory of server. then sign your key using: $ ssh-agent > /tmp/f $ source /tmp/f $ ssh-add
