Question

convert linux script to run on windows xp

Asked by: zenguru

I have the following working script on my local linux box in my home dir named deploy:

#/bin/bash
cd /home/revo/test3 && \
grails clean && \
grails prod war test39.war && \
echo "scp to remote"
scp ~/test3/test39.war root@44.249.185.169:/root/uploads && \
echo "tomcat stop"
ssh root@44.249.185.169 "/etc/init.d/tomcat stop" && \
ssh root@44.249.185.169 "rm -rf /usr/local/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/*" && \
ssh root@44.249.185.169 "cd /usr/local/tomcat/webapps/ROOT ; /usr/java/jdk/bin/jar -xvf /root/uploads/test39.war"  && \
ssh root@44.249.185.169 "/etc/init.d/tomcat start" && \
echo "all done"

I simply type ./deploy in terminal to deploy the whole thing to remote server from my local linux box.

Now I need to port above to my local Win XP box. Assume the script would be located at C:\ and instead of /home/revo/test3, I have C:/test3 folder on Win XP and have the same executable program grails on Win XP. Also on Linux I have ssh-add to connect with the remote server with passsword preauthenticated before the  script is run. But on Win XP there is no such setup. Assume the remote server credentials:  user name: root  password: pswd  So when you port above script to Win XP , it should also take care of this. On Win XP I have Putty installed and I also have Winscp.
So please rewrite above script to run in Win XP given the details above.
PLEASE NOTE: NO CYGWIN based solution as I cannot install this software under any circumstances.
I think it looks like writing win xp .bat file with windows equivalent script above.

Have a look at the PuTTY command line tools Plink and PSCP (Documentation at http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/0.60/htmldoc/Chapter7.html#plink-batch and http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/0.60/htmldoc/Chapter5.html#pscp).

For authentication, ssh-key-based authentication would be the best method.

All of PuTTY's tool share a common connection storage, which contains predefined ssh-connections with specific settings. There, you can choose an ssh-key-file to use for your specific connection.

If you then use this stored connection with Plink and PSCP, you don't have to enter a password.

Please provide complete solution. If some is expert in writing windows bat files and linux shell scripts, then that person can post the solution in 10 minutes flat. This service is not free for me and I am paying $$$ every month so I expect solution rather than a link or a link there posting to refer me to somewhere else. Otherwise what is the use of experts to me?

Anyway I have now taken care of generating rsa pub and private keys in Win Xp and I am now able to run
this command:

C:\pscp -sftp c:\bb\UserGuide.pdf rsazen:/root/uploads

the above will upload the specified file to my remote server specified as rsazen (saved putty session)
without asking me password.

So please now write Windows .bat file to convert above linux to windows.
I tried the following but it does not work bicuz only the first command is executed and the bat file is exited.

cd c:\test3
grails clean \
grails prod war test39.war

So Please complete the bat file that covers all the commands in linux shell script above.
