Environment: Windows XP
I'm trying to write a script to change a password on several linux boxes. I know I can do it using Net::Telnet if I can create a console then start the ssh client then attach that console to stdin. Can someone enlighten me on how to start ssh then attach that console to stdin.. Below is an example from the Net::Telnet documentation. I need to do a passwd on the remote box, then waitfor a prompt then enter the old pass then the new one twice. I can accomplish this if I can figure out how to attach it to the stdin.
## Main program.
{
my ($pty, $ssh, @lines);
my $host = "changeme";
my $user = "changeme";
my $password = "changeme";
my $prompt = '/changeme:~> $/';
## Start ssh program.
$pty = &spawn("ssh", "-l", $user, $host); # spawn() defined below
## Create a Net::Telnet object to perform I/O on ssh's tty.
use Net::Telnet;
$ssh = new Net::Telnet (-fhopen => $pty,
-prompt => $prompt,
-telnetmode => 0,
-cmd_remove_mode => 1,
-output_record_separator => "\r");
## Login to remote host.
$ssh->waitfor(-match => '/password: ?$/i',
-errmode => "return")
or die "problem connecting to host: ", $ssh->lastline;
$ssh->print($password);
$ssh->waitfor(-match => $ssh->prompt,
-errmode => "return")
or die "login failed: ", $ssh->lastline;
## Send command, get and print its output.
@lines = $ssh->cmd("who");
print @lines;
exit;
} # end main program
sub spawn {
my(@cmd) = @_;
my($pid, $pty, $tty, $tty_fd);
## Create a new pseudo terminal.
use IO::Pty ();
$pty = new IO::Pty
or die $!;
## Execute the program in another process.
unless ($pid = fork) { # child process
die "problem spawning program: $!\n" unless defined $pid;
## Disassociate process from existing controlling terminal.
use POSIX ();
POSIX::setsid
or die "setsid failed: $!";
## Associate process with a new controlling terminal.
$tty = $pty->slave;
$tty_fd = $tty->fileno;
close $pty;
## Make stdio use the new controlling terminal.
open STDIN, "<&$tty_fd" or die $!;
open STDOUT, ">&$tty_fd" or die $!;
open STDERR, ">&STDOUT" or die $!;
close $tty;
## Execute requested program.
exec @cmd
or die "problem executing $cmd[0]\n";
} # end child process
$pty;
} # end sub spawn
