Remote server for script ?

[Antoine2tt]

Hello !

I'd like to know, if it's possible to execute script on a remote server.

I explain :

Script server is on machine A

My script is on machine B

Can script server kind of ssh to the machine B, and then run the script ?

(In other words, can the script be executed while script server is on another machine?)

Thanks !

just use ssh keys on both servers and write a wrapper script

@antoine2tt I assume you have some basic knowledge about your linux distribution, like how to install a package.

• Install openssh-client if missing
• Generate a ssh-key without password to use for logging in : ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096
• Then copy the public key to Machine B: ssh-copy-id userNameToRunAs@machineb

Now you can login without a password: ssh userNameToRunAs@machineb In order to run a script or command; ssh userNameToRunAs@machineb 'ls -la /tmp'

remote_script.json

{
  "name": "Remote Script",
  "script_path": "ssh userNameToRunAs@machineb 'ls -la'",
  "output_format": "terminal",
  "parameters": []
}
