Hey guys.
Trying to get my heads around something. I'm looking to automate a
process.
Basically, I want to kick off/initiate a number of processes on
remote boxes. I've looked at different online sites, but I'm missing
something..
I can ssh into the box, trivial.
I know I can create a "screen" process, that allows me to then later
access the 'screen' session to see the progress of the action. And of
course I can access the screen and fire up my process.
However, (and here's where I'm not getting how to do it) - I'd like to be
able to auto/programatically :
ssh into the remote box
create the screen session (with a name I define)
access the screen session, and then fire up/start my process
If I can figure out how to do all of this initially for a test, I can of
course
roll out the rest of my tests...
Hope this makes sense.
(if someone has a chunk of code, or pointers to any code I can look at,
that would
be great.)
I suspect this is really trivial.
Thanks again...
Do you need to interact with this automated process? If not, running it as
a oneshot service unit might be a better fit. I'm curious what the thing
does, and what led you to screen as a way of doing it.
