Execute local script requiring arguments on Linux via plink

Question

Is it possible to execute (from windows) a local script with arguments on a remote linux system?

Here's what I got:

plink 1.2.3.4 -l root -pw mypassword -m hello.sh

Is there a way to do this same thing, but able to give input parameters to hello.sh?

I've tried many things, including:

plink 1.2.3.4 -l root -pw mypassword -m hello.sh input1 input2

In this case it seems that plink thinks that input1 and input2 are its arguments.. which makes sense.

What are my options?

Solution

I had the same issue.

You can simply write this line

plink 1.2.3.4 -l root -pw pass " myscript.sh arg1 arg2"

For example, I had to run a script and give two files as parameters.

plink 1.2.3.4 -l root -pw pass " myscript.sh path/to/file1 path/to/file2"

Does not work for me. Am I supposed to replace '$SHELL' with something? is arg1 supposed to be the name of the file? I've tried all kinds of combinations, nothing seems to work. My hello.sh looks like this: '#!/bin/bash echo "Your argument is "$1'.

@c_maker: Try the updated version; and no, $SHELL will be automatically expanded on the server, and arg1 is the first argument you want to give.

I don't think is is the same issue OP described, in this case the executed script resides on the remote machine, doesn't it?
