How to automate running Linux commands via `ssh` from Windows 7?

Currently I use puTTY, open SSH connection to my Ubuntu server and execute some svn update comment over there.

I want to automate that whole process but executing just a script/batch file.

How can I do that?

Solution

  • I found it myself without using Cygwin - I'm stuck with installing/reinstalling it.

    The answer is using Plink from PuTTY.

    rem Note
rem ----
rem 01 Update `plink` to point to `plink.exe` on `your PC`
rem 02 Update `pkey` to point to `private key` of `remote server`
rem (the end)

set plink="Path\To\PuTTY\plink.exe"
set user=<your user>
set server=<remote server>
set pkey="Path\To\YourPrivateSSHKey.ppk"
set pass=<your pass>

set run=%plink% -v -pw %pass% -i %pkey% %user%@%server%

rem sample run command
set cmd=svn update /var/www/MyWeb

%run% %cmd%
rem (the end)

    Hope that helps
