Hi rennen01,
The preferred way to do this is via public key authentication as meatpan says above.
As a quick fix, here's an expect script (sudo apt-get install expect on the host you're running from) to ssh to a box, login via password authentication, then run a command and send output to stdout. You could call this from another script.
#!/usr/bin/env expect -f
#
# ssh-login.exp

# Emulate an rsh in ssh, without pubkey authentication
#
# Usage:
# ./ssh-login.exp <username> <password> <hostname> <command> [parameter1 [ parameter2 [ ... ]]]
#
set username [lrange $argv 0 0]
set password [lrange $argv 1 1]
set hostname [lrange $argv 2 2]
set command [lrange $argv 3 3]
set arguments [lrange $argv 4 9]
set timeout 60
match_max 1000
spawn ssh $username@$hostname $command $arguments
expect {
"Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? " {
send -- "yes\r"
expect "*?assword:*" {
send -- "$password\r"
send -- "\r"
}
}
"*?assword:*" {
send -- "$password\r"
send -- "\r"
}
}
expect eof
Hope this helps,
