convert bat to .sh (Solved)

[tinni88]

hey all 

 

Sorry if this is in the wrong place,

 

I have a script setup on my unraid server and a bat file on my windows vm that shuts down my win 10 vm and starts my ubuntu 20.04 vm up via ssh but i cant figure out the correct way to do it with ubuntu so to shut down ubuntu vm and start win 10 vm.

 

The bat file used for windows is 

 

"C:\Program Files\PuTTY\plink.exe" -ssh  -pw  password root@tower  "/mnt/disk1/scripts/retro-win10.sh VM-1 VM-2 > /dev/null &"

 

How would i convert this to being able to use it in ubuntu?

to achieve the same out come as windows double click shut down ubuntu start up win10.

 

i have putty installed on ubuntu, Im new to the linux world and still learning.

 

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers Tinni

Try

/usr/bin/plink -ssh  -pw  password root@tower  "/mnt/disk1/scripts/retro-win10.sh VM-2 VM-1 > /dev/null &"

 

Because you didn't post the content of the .sh file, I'm just assuming that you want to reverse the VM-1 and 2 parameters. If it doesn't work, post the sh content.

hey jonathanm 

 

Thanks for getting back to me i didn't need to change the vm parameters as i have two different scripts on unraid (one) win10-retro.sh (two) retro-win10.sh   

 

I just tried that but it comes back as

"unable to open connection

temporary failure in name resolution"

 

Not really sure why that is coming back as that As i can ssh into the unraid sever via putty no problems.

 

any other ideas?

Cheers Tinni

Use the ip instead of tower

Thanks jonathanm

 

That did the trick all working now : )

 

Changed tower to ip & changed "C:\Program Files\PuTTY\plink.exe" to /usr/bin/plink 

 

Thanks again for your help
