SSH Script

This is a Bash script to automate SSH connections based on predefined commands stored in text files.

Overview

The script allows you to select and execute SSH commands from a predefined list stored in text files. Each text file contains a list of SSH commands, and the script will prompt you to choose which command to execute.

Prerequisites

• Bash
• SSH

Setup

1. Modify the Directory Path: Open the script file myssh.sh and change the directory variable to the path where your command files are stored. For example:

   # Directory containing the files
   directory="/path/to/your/ssh-script-directory"

   Replace /path/to/your/ssh-script-directory with the actual path to your directory.

Usage

1. Place your command files: Create text files in the specified directory. Each file should contain SSH commands, one per line.
2. Run the script: Execute the script with the name of the command file (without the .txt extension) as a parameter.

   ./myssh.sh <command_file_name>
   

Example

If you have a file named example.txt in your specified directory, run the script as follows:

./myssh.sh  example

Script Details

• The script validates that a parameter is provided.
• It searches for a file in the specified directory that matches the provided parameter.
• If the file is found, it displays the content up to the first empty line.
• It prompts the user to enter a choice.
• Based on the user's choice, it executes the corresponding SSH command from the file.

Error Handling

• If no parameter is provided, the script exits with a message indicating that a parameter is required.
• If the specified file is not found, the script exits with a message indicating that the file was not found.
• If the user enters an invalid choice, the script exits with a message indicating invalid input.

Example Command File

Here is an example of what a command file (example.txt) might look like:

# Server List
server1 user@192.168.1.1
server2 user@192.168.1.2

# Commands
user@192.168.1.1
user@192.168.1.2

In this example, the script will display the server list and prompt the user to choose a server. Based on the user's choice, it will execute the corresponding SSH command.
