I need to be able to do the following from a windows machine: 1. Login to remote server via putty / SSH / Perl script 2. Automatically launch a script residing on the local system to send commands to the remote host to start the proper software.
Seems pretty simple except I cannot find a way to do this. The putty session needs to use X11 forwarding so I am launching putty with a config file with the X11 settings. I thought about perl but the Net::SSH module does not have a way to handle the X11 forwarding. It only appears to login and then run a command and logout. I need to maintain the connection and X11 tunnel. We also can try to use the real ssh client to do this but I would prefer to use Perl to allow the user to launch the program, type in their login name and password, pass this and the proper configuration to putty/ssh and once logged in, the command from the local script is run and sent to the host and the application starts. Right now, the users launch putty with the configuration file and then login manually, then they cut and paste the commands to start the application into putty and send them to the host. As you can imagine, this is very cumbersome. I need to totally re-think this and any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Craig A.
