Re: Perl script to run sudo command(s) on multiple boxes without the use of expect module.

Why do you not want to use expect?

Do you have public key infraestructure handling ssh access to your account?

Not perl related, but you could consider see ansible

PD: I have a perl script to use 'ssh server "su - -c xxx"' , but it is using expect, it is called as_root
PD2: To run it on several machines I would use pdsh (still on code.google.com :( )

There are risks associated with " Expect " with handing passwords... Ansible is an option , but looking for a simple script based solution...	[reply]

All scripts which have a password inside will have the same problems that using Expect to introduce password, isn't it?. I think it is better to use pki and passwordless specifics sudo commands Regards	[reply]
