Issue
I have a script which runs another script via SSH on a remote server using sudo
. However, when I type the password, it shows up on the terminal. Otherwise it works fine.
ssh user@server "sudo script"
What's the proper way to do this so I can type the password for sudo
over SSH without the password appearing as I type?
Solution
Another way is to use the -t
open for ssh
:
ssh -t user@server "sudo script"
See man ssh
:
-t Force pseudo-tty allocation. This can be used to execute arbi-
trary screen-based programs on a remote machine, which can be
very useful, e.g., when implementing menu services. Multiple -t
options force tty allocation, even if ssh has no local tty.
