Hi,
I have a requirement where i need to login to a remote server and then su to another user for executing commands. The problem that i am facing is that i am not able to find how to pass the password for the su command after i login into the remote system.
My code looks like this?
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Net::SSH::Perl;
my ($host,$user,$pass);
( $host, $user, $pass ) = ('hostname', 'username', 'passwd' );
my $conn = Net::SSH::Perl->new($host,"protocol 2,1");
$conn->login($user,$pass);
my ( $out,$err,$exit) = $conn->cmd('su - username "ls -l" ','password');
print " -------- $host -----------\n";
if ( $exit == 0 )
{ print $out."\n"; }
else
{ print $err."\n"; }
any pointers on where i going wrong?
I know that password cannot be passed as stdin to su. Any other ideas or suggestion are highly welcome.
Thanking you.
