Shell script unix

Hi

I have a working script tested in unix.

My system is password protected therefore I must supply my script with username and password from HM script system?

Hints?

Hints? If you want to run shell script on *nix box, RMA for unix should be started on this particular *nix box. HostMonitor connects to the agent, running on remote *nix box and supply the script to the agent. RMA performs the script and send results back to HM.

Please, read the following article for details: http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/rma-unix/index.htm

Alternatve solution is to use new SSH test method, introduced in version 8.0: http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/mfra ... htm#chkssh
To use SSH script test method, you should use "Connection Manager" in order to store username/password for remote system: http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/mfra ... htm#conmgr

Thanks for reply.

The SSH is good, but what about telnet?

Telnet is not pretty secured. So, there were no sence to develop test method that would not widely used.
