does anybody know, how a bash shell script looks, which automatically enters the ssh password?
the rsync call should be:
rsync -avz -e ssh /home/johndoe/data/repository [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/johndoe/junk
the call causes a password question.
Is ist possible to automate that by a cron? If yes how should the script look to automatically enter the password?
Have you considered using "key authentication" in ssh ?
AFAIK it is a standard way of making ssh session available to cron scripts. The remote site may assign "single command" to session suthenticated with the the key.
