Hi,
I created a number of scripts that step through a file containing server
names. It will then run a command through an ssh session on the remote
servers.
The list of servers is quite long and often an ssh session cannot be
established for one reason or another.
I am trying to find a way to define a timeout value after which the script
will no longer attempt to talk to the server and go on to the next server in
the list.
How can I accomplish that?
Here is part of my script:
- - - - - - 8< - - - - -
until [ $done ]
do
read <&3 servername
if [ $? != 0 ]; then
done=1
continue
fi
...
cat < bkuplist.$$ |ssh $servername "sudo tar -zcf
/tmp/$servername.tar.gz `cat -`" 2> /dev/null
scp $servername:/tmp/$servername.tar.gz $ESSPATH/ 2> /dev/null
...
done
- - - - - - 8< - - - - -
Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance.
