Good morning all:
I want to use ssh in a script to do a night backup of some machines via
cron job. It looks something like:
ssh -l root <server> 'dump 0cf - /filesystem' | gzip > filesystem.gz
Anyone know how I can pass the root password into ssh on the command
line?
generate a ssh keypair without a password and put the public key in
root/.ssh/authorized_keys on the machine you want to ssh into. then you
won't need to pass a password.
