I have a one liner that I run from the windows run command :
"C:\Program Files (x86)\casper\PuTTY\putty.exe" -ssh "192.168.1.2" -l casper -pw "<password>" -m \\PROD.MSAD.casp.NET\UserData\CASPER\Home\Documents\pbauth_list.txt -t
It works great.
However I tried copying the one liner to a .ps1 file like this:
start "C:\Program Files (x86)\casper\PuTTY\putty.exe" -ssh "192.168.1.2" -l casper -pw "<password>" -m \\PROD.MSAD.casp.NET\UserData\CASPER\Home\Documents\pbauth_list.txt -t
Running it from powershell and I get his error
The system cannot find the file -ssh
Saved this as a .bat and tried to open in thorough powershell
I get a message box
Windows cannot find '-ssh'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again
I have tried all types of permutations with escaping the quotes, quoting the whole line. Can't get it to work as a saved command but it works great from the run as box. The same command worked fine from the run dialog box.
Instead of start, you should be using & "C:\Program Files (x86)\casper\PuTTY\putty.exe" <rest of args>
I would run the command like this.
Start-Process "C:\Program Files (x86)\casper\PuTTY\putty.exe" -Argumentlist "-ssh", "192.168.1.2", "-l", "casper", "-pw", "<password>", "-m", "\\PROD.MSAD.casp.NET\UserData\CASPER\Home\Documents\pbauth_list.txt", "-t"
This to make sure that arguments are sent to the putty command and not to the start command which is your issue.

I am trying to run a batch file which is placed in a remote windows server from my local system.
For that I am using psexec command as shown: psexec \\ip address -u user\username -p password cmd /c "path to batch file". This is executing same way as it executes on remote windows server. but at some point we have to press Q on the command prompt to get to next line on the batch file.
this is how it looks:
on Remote system
But I am unable to press Q on my local psexec command prompt, this is how it looks:
on my local system
is there a way to take key inputs for psexec command?
Thanks in advance.
I tried providing -accepteula option and also pipe it with powershell and try running it.
But no luck on that.
I am trying to execute some command using plink.exe from powershell
below is the code which is working fine
plink.exe root#1.1.6.2 -pw $password -m "C:\command.txt" -no-antispoof
in command.txt, I have mentioned command as df -h
but when I tried to execute the command directly, it is not not returning any value.
plink.exe root#1.1.6.2 -pw $password "df -h" -no-antispoof
Please let me know what I am missing here. I have to execute multiple commands in various parts of my code. creating text file each command is getting difficult.
You cannot put plink switches after the command. This should work:
plink.exe root#1.1.6.2 -pw $password -no-antispoof "df -h"
I having a bunch of Linux Servers on which i need to run few commands to get the host file entry of backup servers. I am using planning to make power shell script using plink to achieve this . It logs me in the server but the commands does not execute. Below is Powershell console
$switch = "172.20.19.50"
$commands = "c:\scripts\cmd.txt"
$username = root
$pw = Read-Host -Prompt "Enter password" -AsSecureString
plink -ssh $switch -l $username -pw $pw -m $commands
output
bash: Support: command not found
bash: Maintenance: command not found
my c:\scripts\cmd.txt contains following two commands :
Support
Maintenance
is there anything in command i am missing here ? Also if anyone could suggest a better way to get the output from linux servers remotely will be great help . I just need to query few commands to get the output
In 99.999% of all cases, if a computer tells you it cannot find something, the reason is, that that something is, in fact, not there. So, are you 100% sure that those commands exist on your server?
In the remaining cases, the reason is, that the thing is there, but not in the right place. Are you 100% sure that those commands are in root's $PATH?
I made a script wich does the same (connect to UNIX machine and execute command using Powershell) and I had to make this:
echo y | & $Plinkpath -P 22 -v $User#$server -pw $passw "$commands $($target)"
Where $commands are:
/usr/local/bin/sudo /usr/sbin/userdel
Because sudo and userdel was not always in mi $PATH (as said Jörg W Mittag) i've to use the full path to the command.
Hope this works for you!
Check everywhere for a reason but nothing I found matches my specific problem. I have a program in C:\somefoldername\anothersubdirectory\andanother\ of the remote pc that I try to run using PSEXEC but it does not take. PSEXEC just does not want to run anything for me. Now if I run a ping or tasklist via psexec, it works, though obviously this is in PATH.
So I am putting in:
PSEXEC \\pcname C:\somefoldername\anothersubdirectory\andanother\program.exe
and nothing happens.
I even wrote a batch script that I tried running in two different ways.
Script is just:
#ECHO OFF
C:\somefoldername\anothersubdirectory\andanother\program.exe
EXIT
and I had it copied to the remote pc's main directory (maybe I need to put it in a folder) and then I tried running C:\batch.bat using:
PSEXEC \\pcname C:\batch.bat
I also tries running:
PSEXEC \\pcname -c \\servername\batch.bat
so it copies it over to PATH.
Neither worked.
Does any program I try to run via PSEXEC have to be in the remote pc's path?
I do have to admit that I have not done running an EXE remotely, but I have written lengthier scripts using psexec that use batch file on a server without any hiccups.
What is weird to is that the program I run has parameters and I task that runs through it, so I first taskkill it remotely, then I PSEXEC the SAME EXACT EXE as:
psexec \\pcname C:\...\program.exe -a -few -parameters ODBC
and that works. When I try to open just program.exe on its own, nope doesn't take.
I also did try psexecing iexplore.exe and that didn't work either.
So gotta use the -i option. In addition to that, gotta use -p + -u or -s to load system hardware dependent gui. This is why large portions of the gui was missing, or I assume why.
Can you please try this format
psexec \\machineName -u username -p password /accepteula -h cmd /c
C://somefoldername//anothersubdirectory//andanother//program.exe >>log.txt
More Clearly
Download the PSEXEC tool zip file in your user machine and unzip it.
Open command prompt and go to the psexec path.
In my machine it is: D:\PsTools
Run following command line
Syntax:
D:\PsTools> psexec \\ip_address -u username -p Password cmd /c executablename arguments >> test.log
I am trying to control a remote Python script via psexec, which reads commands from stdin, but I need to redirect psexec's input since psexec itself will be launched from another program. However, I have no luck making psexec accept redirected input. Is it supposed to work at all?
An example of what I'm trying to do, where input is a file containing input to the remote script:
psexec \\mymachine python c:\script.py < input
Here's one way I was able to kinda accomplish what you're after:
PsExec.exe -d \\\\192.168.1.1 cmd /k "echo list volume | diskpart"
This would pass the commands "list volume" to the diskpart command. Additionally you can also try using cmd like this for you example:
PsExec.exe -d \\\\192.168.1.1 cmd /k "python c:\script.py < input"
