Hey Im trying to do something pretty simply here... Im wanting to make a simple page with a button... and when a user click on that button i want it to do several server commands.. somrhing like this

cd ..
ssh -l -a servername
password

something like that example.. I've done a few things like cd .. \n ssh....... but theirs always a pause after the ssh command and the password entry... Is their an easier way of doing what im trying to accompolish??

Thanks a lot

No there isn't. When using either su or ssh, or any commands like that, there is deliberately a pause before authentication. This makes it extremely difficult for someone to script an automated password hacker.

For this reason most admin systems that require this kind of useage, use a telnet, or ssh applet, and a specific login that runs a menu driven shell script.

This isn't really going to help you with your current situation, but offhand I can't think of a solution.
