Re^8: Perl script in cron

OK ... I kicked on debugging and it seems to be a problem with the key passphrase in batchmode:

nw05: Trying empty user-authentication request.
nw05: Authentication methods that can continue: publickey,keyboard-int
+eractive.
nw05: Next method to try is publickey.
nw05: Trying pubkey authentication with key file '/root/.ssh/id_rsa.pu
+b'
nw05: Will not query passphrase for '/root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub' in batch m
+ode.
nw05: Loading private key failed.

Gonna take a closer look on this.

If I didn't know better, I'd say ssh is detecting the lack of a terminal and assuming it's in batch mode. I thought Net::SSH was native perl, but now I wonder if it has forked a /bin/ssh? ssh will definitely drop into "batch mode" from chron unless it's told not to do so, and afaik it won't accept passwords when it considers itself to be non-interactive. Perhaps you should set up a keypair? Update: duh. The native perl ssh has a different name: Net::SSH::Perl -Paul	[reply]

Well, Im out of idea's here I guess. Do I have to revert to feeding it with password (automaticly) perhaps :-(	[reply]
