Auto run a script on start of a computer by connecting other local machine on local network

I want to run a set of commands on start of my machine which requires password input as well to connect to other machine on local network.

My Commands:

1) ssh userName@IPADDRESS

2) cd /var/www/html

3) cd Proj name

First command requires password on execution.

OS Version: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

I have tried various script but none was useful for connecting in other machine.

Thanks in advance.

Try this,

  • Put the command in your crontab file. Make sure to edit the cron job for the root user, Command is sudo crontab -e.

  • @reboot yourscript.

  • Put a yourscript under the /etc/init.d directory, Change the yourscript permissions(to make it executable) of the script.

Already tried this?

   #!/usr/bin/expect -f
    spawn ssh user@hostname
    expect "password:"
    sleep 1
    send "<your password>\r"
    command1
    command2

and do you want that this script auto runs on your PC or on the Server?

However:

  1. If you want that it starts on your PC when the Server starts, then write a script that checks every minute if the server runs, and when the server runs execute that code above.
  2. you want that the script runs on the machine at startup, just use crontab.
  3. you want that it runs on your PC at your PC's startup, just use crontab.
