batch file sending command to linux computer not working

[aristosv]

I am running the following batch file, to make a modification in a file on a linux computer.

Code: Select all

plink.exe -ssh root@192.168.0.30 -pw password_here /bin/sed -i -e '/export s_sshhost="hostname1_here"/a export s_vpnhost="hostname2_here"' /file/to/edit/here

I get this message

Code: Select all

& was unexpected at this time

If I run this command directly on the Linux computer it works, so I know its not a problem with the command

Code: Select all

/bin/sed -i -e '/export s_sshhost="hostname1_here"/a export s_vpnhost="hostname2_here"' /file/to/edit/here

whats wrong with my batch file?

Thanks

can you assist with the problem at hand?

Hard to when you are obfuscating the real command parameters you are executing. Batch files can choke for a lot of different reasons.

[aristosv]

Are you saying that I should provide the actual host names and the actual password?
In case there's something wrong with the host names or password, do you have a suggestion?

[ShadowThief]

To test if it's something with the hostname or password, just try

Code: Select all

plink.exe -ssh root@192.168.0.30 -pw password_here

by itself.
