CGI bash or perl script to run ssh

Ok. Now it makes sense. ssh could not create the .ssh directory, nor store
the known_hosts file

This works now

#!/bin/bash
ssh -l <username> -i <Identity for public key authentication>
host_ip_address command > service_result
cat service_result | mail -s "SSH command run via cgi" user at host
        service_result=`cat service_result`
 echo "Content-type: text/html"
 echo ""
 echo "<HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY>"
 echo "<H2>SSH command run via cgi</H2>"
 echo "<HR>"
 echo "$service_result"
 echo "</BODY></HTML>"

So now, clicking on the serviceextinfo link runs the cgi script and returns
the results as a HTML page - useful if you restart a service or something
similar.

#!/bin/sb

ssh remotelogin at remotehost command


you'll have to make ssh public key exchange working between your monitoring
box and your remote host in order to avoid password prompt (see
http://cfm.gs.washington.edu/security/ssh/client-pkauth/)
