how to read the password from variable?
- by Viswa
I am trying to move my file to another system which is located in some other place, with this command:
rsync -avrz src destination
It works fine. But what I need is to put this command in shell script and run it like:
#! /bin/sh
rsync -avrz srcfilelocation destination
When it runs, it asks for the destination system password. I know that password and give it manually.
Now I have decided to assign the password to an environment variable, like pswd="destination system password". I need my shell script to read the password from this variable. How can I write a script to do this?
