:rocket: This is a simple SSH Starter script

SSH-Starter-Interface

This is a newer version of my SSH Starter script.

A small Expect script which will start SSH sessions with automatically entered password.
You can specify hostname, password, port and username inside the script for 4 different servers.

^{"ssh.sh" - When 97% of your keyboard is broken...}

Tested on Ubuntu 16.04 and 14.04

This script also features CLI arguments so you can connect to your server instantly without getting prompted to choose a server.

Usage:
$ ./ssh.sh 1
$ ./ssh.sh 2
$ ./ssh.sh 3
$ ./ssh.sh 4

Extra feature: You can pass a command as argument, which will be executed after login!

Example Usage:
$ ./ssh.sh 1 echo hello

This will execute echo hello once the login was sucessful.

Small code info:

expect "assword:" on Line 67 is not a typo. It matches "Password" as well as "password".

HOW TO INSTALL

1. Install expect script
      $ sudo apt-get update
      $ sudo apt-get install expect
   

2. Clone and navigate to this repository
      $ git clone https://github.com/NullDev/SSH-Starter.git && cd SSH-Starter
   

3. Move the script wherever you want
      $ mv ssh.sh ..
   

4. Edit the script as you need it
      $ cd .. && nano ssh.sh
   

5. Make the script executable
      $ chmod +x ssh.sh
   

6. Thats it! You can either start in from the terminal with
      $ ./ssh.sh
   Or by doubleclicking it!

Optional:

If you do not want to store your password in the script directly, you could create a passwor file. Lets say you create a file called "p" in your home directory and store the password there. Then you can use

set SERVER_1_PKEY [exec cat ~/p]

instead of

set SERVER_1_PKEY "password1"

on Line 9 to 12.

However, this does not provide additional security (It isn't even security through obscurity). This is just for storing the password somewhere else instead of directly inside the script.
