How to run shell script in another server in a script?

No where online can i find a way to run a shell script on a remote server from another script. This is for automation, so the script on the host machine will automatically trigger another script on a different server. The server that my script will ssh to will either have a password prompt or have RSA key pair set up

Thanks!

Another way, using expect package.

Disclaimer: This you can use for testing environments since it has an open password. but depends on your usecase

If your server does not have expect, you may add the package then. run the command. You can also put this command inside an .sh script.

expect -c 'spawn ssh [email protected] "/path/to/my.sh"; expect "assword:"; send "Y0urp@ssw0rd\r"; interact'

Let's say you want to execute a script on node2 but you have your script on node1 file name of script is sp over location /home/user/sp. Simply 

ssh node2 < /path-of-the-script-including-the-filename

Just pass the command as an argument to ssh.

ssh someserver /path/to/some/script.bsh
