What is the cleanest way to ssh and run multiple c

问题:

I already have an ssh agent set up, and I can run commands on an external server in Bash script doing stuff like:

ssh blah_server \"ls; pwd;\"

Now, what I\'d really like to do is run a lot of long commands on an external server. Enclosing all of these in between quotation marks would be quite ugly, and I\'d really rather avoid ssh\'ing multiple times just to avoid this.

So, is there a way I can do this in one go enclosed in parentheses or something? I\'m looking for something along the lines of:

ssh blah_server (
   ls some_folder;
   ./someaction.sh;
   pwd;
)

Basically, I\'ll be happy with any solution as long as it\'s clean.

Edit

To clarify, I\'m talking about this being part of a larger bash script. Other people might need to deal with the script down the line, so I\'d like to keep it clean. I don\'t want to have a bash script with one line that looks like:

ssh blah_server \"ls some_folder; ./someaction.sh \'some params\'; pwd; ./some_other_action \'other params\';\"

because it is extremely ugly and difficult to read.

回答1:

How about a Bash Here Document:

ssh otherhost << EOF
  ls some_folder; 
  ./someaction.sh \'some params\'
  pwd
  ./some_other_action \'other params\'
EOF

To avoid the problems mentioned by @Globalz in the comments, you may be able to (depending what you\'re doing on the remote site) get away with replacing the first line with

ssh otherhost /bin/bash << EOF

Note that you can do variable substitution in the Here document, but you may have to deal with quoting issues. For instance, if you quote the \"limit string\" (ie. EOF in the above), then you can\'t do variable substitutions. But without quoting the limit string, variables are substituted. For example, if you have defined $NAME above in your shell script, you could do

ssh otherhost /bin/bash << EOF
touch \"/tmp/${NAME}\"
EOF

and it would create a file on the destination otherhost with the name of whatever you\'d assigned to $NAME. Other rules about shell script quoting also apply, but are too complicated to go into here.



回答2:

Edit your script locally, then pipe it into ssh, e.g.

cat commands-to-execute-remotely.sh | ssh blah_server

where commands-to-execute-remotely.sh looks like your list above:

ls some_folder
./someaction.sh
pwd;


回答3:

To match your sample code, you can wrap your commands inside single or double qoutes. For example

ssh blah_server \"
  ls
  pwd
\"


回答4:

I see two ways:

First you make a control socket like this:

 ssh -oControlMaster=yes -oControlPath=~/.ssh/ssh-%r-%h-%p <yourip>

and run your commands

 ssh -oControlMaster=no -oControlPath=~/.ssh/ssh-%r-%h-%p <yourip> -t <yourcommand>

This way you can write an ssh command without actually reconnecting to the server.

The second would be to dynamically generate the script, scping it and running.



回答5:

This can also be done as follows. Put your commands in a script, let\'s name it commands-inc.sh

#!/bin/bash
ls some_folder
./someaction.sh
pwd

Save the file

Now run it on the remote server.

ssh user@remote \'bash -s\' < /path/to/commands-inc.sh

Never failed for me.

SSH and Run Multiple Commands in Bash.

Separate commands with semicolons within a string, passed to echo, all piped into the ssh command. For example:

echo \"df -k;uname -a\" | ssh 192.168.79.134

回答7:

Put all the commands on to a script and it can be run like

ssh <remote-user>@<remote-host> \"bash -s\" <./remote-commands.sh


回答8:

For anyone stumbling over here like me - I had success with escaping the semicolon and the newline:

First step: the semicolon. This way, we do not break the ssh command:

ssh <host> echo test\\;ls
                    ^ backslash!

Listed the remote hosts /home directory (logged in as root), whereas

ssh <host> echo test;ls
                    ^ NO backslash

listed the current working directory.

Next step: breaking up the line:

                      v another backslash!
ssh <host> echo test\\;\\
ls

This again listed the remote working directory - improved formatting:

ssh <host>\\
  echo test\\;\\
  ls

If really nicer than here document or quotes around broken lines - well, not me to decide...

(Using bash, Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.)



回答9:

This works well for creating scripts, as you do not have to include other files:

#!/bin/bash
ssh <my_user>@<my_host> \"bash -s\" << EOF
    # here you just type all your commmands, as you can see, i.e.
    touch /tmp/test1;
    touch /tmp/test2;
    touch /tmp/test3;
EOF


回答10:

The easiest way to configure your system to use single ssh sessions by default with multiplexing.

This can be done by creating a folder for the sockets:

mkdir ~/.ssh/controlmasters

And then adding the following to your .ssh configuration:

Host *
    ControlMaster auto
    ControlPath ~/.ssh/controlmasters/%r@%h:%p.socket
    ControlMaster auto
    ControlPersist 10m

Now, you do not need to modify any of your code. This allows multiple calls to ssh and scp without creating multiple sessions, which is useful when there needs to be more interaction between your local and remote machines.

回答11:

The posted answers using multiline strings and multiple bash scripts did not work for me.

  • Long multiline strings are hard to maintain.
  • Separate bash scripts do not maintain local variables.

Here is a functional way to ssh and run multiple commands while keeping local context.

LOCAL_VARIABLE=test

run_remote() {
    echo \"$LOCAL_VARIABLE\"
    ls some_folder; 
    ./someaction.sh \'some params\'
    ./some_other_action \'other params\'
}

ssh otherhost \"$(set); run_remote\"


回答12:

Not sure if the cleanest for long commands but certainly the easiest:

ssh user@host \"cmd1; cmd2; cmd;3\"
