'net/ssh' error

[Athreya Vc]

Hi,

I am trying to do ssh to multiple servers and get their versions using
ruby Net::SSH

When I assign a host name to a variable and used in Net::SSH it works
fine

server="test.server.com"
Net::SSH.start(server, USER, assword=>PASSWORD) do |ssh|
result=ssh.exec!('hostname')
puts result
end

Whereas I put the servername in file read it in to a array, use each
method for individual servers

SERVER_LIST.each do |server|


Net::SSH.start(server, USER, assword=>PASSWORD) do
|ssh|
host_name=ssh.exec!('hostname')
puts result
end

It fails with the error,

/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/net-ssh-2.0.23/lib/net/ssh/transport/session.rb:65:in
`initialize': newline at the end of

Am i missing something here?

I am so sorry,

It was the new line character that was creating problems.

Fixed it

SERVER_LIST.each do |server|

SERVER=server.chomp
Net::SSH.start(SERVER, USER, assword=>PASSWORD) do
|ssh|


Sorry I am a beginner

No need to apologize. Welcome to the community.

SERVER_LIST.each do |server|
=A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0SERVER=3Dserver.chomp
=A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0Net::SSH.start(SERVER, USER, assword=3D>=

PASSWORD) do

Stylistically, rather than using SERVER as a variable (uppercase
indicates a constant), so I would do something like:

A) s =3D server.chomp; Net::SSH.start(s, ...
B) server =3D server.chomp; Net::SSH.start(server, ...
C) Net::SSH.start(server.chomp, ...
D) current_host =3D server.chomp; ...

Yes sir, I did that too.

Immediately it threw an error saying constant can't be changed.

Thanks for the suggestion.

The script is working great and I am happy.

Regards,

Athreya
