Bash Shell Scripting- Shell Script to execute different commands on different servers

The video tutorial explains how to execute different commands on various servers using shell scripts. It starts with an introduction to executing commands with different users and passwords. The tutorial then discusses the limitations of using a for loop and introduces the while loop for reading lines from a file. It demonstrates how to use variables for executing commands and handling multiple commands on different servers. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of using the correct loop and variable handling for efficient command execution.

What is the primary challenge when executing different commands on different servers with different users and passwords?

• Using the same username and password for all servers

• Ensuring all servers are online

• Handling different usernames, passwords, and commands

• Executing the same command on all servers

Why is a for loop not suitable for reading server information in this context?

• It only works with fixed commands

• It reads each line as separate values

• It cannot handle multiple lines

• It reads the entire file at once

What is the advantage of using a while loop over a for loop in this scenario?

• It is more secure

• It reads the entire line at once

• It is faster

• It requires less code

In the context of the script, what does the variable 'server' represent?

• The command to execute

• The server's IP address

• The server's name

• The server's password

What is the purpose of the '-n' option in SSH?

• To enable verbose mode

• To prevent reading from stdin

• To specify a port number

• To execute commands in the background

What is the role of the 'pass' variable in the script?

• It stores the user's password

• It stores the command to execute

• It stores the server's name

• It stores the server's IP address

What does the 'cmd' variable represent in the script?

• The command to be executed

• The server's name

• The user's password

• The server's IP address

How can you execute multiple commands on a server using the script?

• By adding more command variables

• By writing commands in a separate file

• By using a different loop

• By using a single command variable

Why is it important to use a while loop in real-time scenarios?

• It handles dynamic data more effectively

• It requires less memory

• It is easier to debug

• It is more efficient

What is the significance of the 'done' keyword in the script?

• It marks the end of a command

• It is a placeholder for a variable

• It indicates the end of a loop

• It is used to execute a command
