Hi Guys,

Im trying to create a script that will connect to a list of linux servers 1 by 1..
The application PLINK i have works fine, it uses command line.
The parameters are; -v -load username -l root -pw password -m commandlistfiletorun

So basicaly what im trying to do is, every morning i need to check a bunch of servers. So for example we will say i need to check the date on each server and create an excel spread sheet with

Servername Date
blah blah 20/9/2008
ba 19/9/2008

Does this make sence?

Thank you

If you have a command line it should be fairly simple to convert it into a vbscript. First thing I would suggest would be to take your command line and get it to run once against 1 server. Start out using .RUN, see the WSH documents for help with this.

Start with something like this:
WshShell.Run "cmd /K plink -v -command etc",1,True

Once you have that working redirect to a text file
WshShell.Run "cmd /C plink -v -command etc >c:\ServerName.txt",1,True

Once you have that, you can then start to use readline to get the text file into vbscript.

Start putting something together and post when you have questions. the WSH docs will help with the basics.
