Question

I want to know if i can somehow or someway run a remote linux script stored in windows machine through putty which can contain:

#!/bin/bash

su
<password>
<some operation which needs root permissions>
exit
<some operation with normal user credentials>

Since i tried above script but it does ask root password and then give error of not able to run commands and needed root access. I ran this script from putty using command line:

putty -ssh normaluser@linuxhost -pw <password> -t -m C:\myRootScript.sh

Thanks for answers

Answer 1

Either login as the root user (not recommended!) or add the user that you’re login in with to the sudoers file

sudo visudo
myusername ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

That will let you run sudo without a password.
