Hi,
I am new to using AppleScript and was googling how to use Applescript to open a Terminal session and connect to a remote box using SSH.
This was successful in a single instance, using the script:
tell application “Terminal”
activate
do script “ssh root@10.10.51.1”
– // write some linux commands to remote server
end tell
Then saving it as an application.
As this now works, the issue I have is that I have a list of box’s that I need to connect to on a regular basis (i’ve just moved from a Windows machine where I used putty) and need to create Applescripts, for each one.
I am having trouble in finding out how to use this list (currently a numbers spreadsheet) to create some kind of loop, to create individual files, for each one.
I was thinking about converting it to a csv file and the creating a script that uses the column headers:
IP address
Number
Name
Location
Opens script editor, enters the same script as before, replaces the IP address, saves the script, using the naming convention Number-Name and then putting them into subfolders for each location. However as I said earlier, as I’m new to scripting in AppleScript, I’m finding it hard to trall through all the tutorials and forums for assistance.
Can anyone offer any advice?
