[SOLVED] Execute bash script on a remote-linux

Issue

I have a bash script lets say test.sh. This script contains the following:

#!/bin/bash
echo "khaled"
ads2 svcd& 

This script simply prints my name (just for test purposes) and execute ads-service application in the background. When i run the script on my ubuntu, it works correctly. As a test i checked which programs run on the kernel

As you see. ads2 runs and has 12319 process-id.

Now what I'm trying to do is to run the script on the ubuntu, however remotely from a windows pc.

Therefore i opened command-line on windows and executed the following command:

ssh nvidia@ubuntu ip-address ~/test.sh

And i get the following

As you see the scripts run and prints khaled,however on windows command line and what i want is that the script is executed on the ubuntu. this justify why the lineads2 svcd& doe not do anything, neither on windows (which makes sense, since ads2 is installed on ubuntu) nor on linux.

So how can i execute the script on ubuntu ?

thanks in advance

Solution

Use the full path to start ads2. When using remote SSH your environment variables may be different than in a local shell.

#!/bin/bash
echo "khaled"
/home/nvidia/ads2 svcd& 

Not sure where ads2 is located. Try the following to locate it on your Ubuntu local shell.

command -v ads2

You may also need nohup to persist the process beyond the life of the SSH session.
