How to exit from ssh session created from bash script?
16,458
You may want to code a here document
#!/bin/bash
ssh -o "StrictHostKeyChecking no" user@$1 << ENDHERE
here do some remote stuff
also here
exit
ENDHERE
If you code <<-ENDHERE
the initial spaces or tabs in each line of the here document are suppressed. Parameters (like $foo
) are substituted unless you code <<\ENDHERE
, and the ENDHERE
can actually be any word, conventionally in capitals.
Read the Advanced Bash Scripting guide (which does have some imperfections)

I have the following bash script
test.sh
#!/bin/bash ssh -o "StrictHostKeyChecking no" user@$1 #do some stuff exit
However if I run this script
./test.sh
I need to enter ctrl+d to get out of the ssh session and it appears as if theexit
command is not working the way I intended.Is there any way I can exit this ssh session that was created from this bash script?
