Shutdown Script via SSH

[DoubleD]

Hello everyone,

i am writing a Powershellscript which shuts down some machines. One of these is a Fortigate. 

So I establish a new SSH-Session and invoke the "execute Shutdown"-Command. But how can I confirm it with "y"?

Is there any "force"-command or something to work around the Shutdown-Confirmation?

When i do: 

Invoke-SSHCommand -SessionId 0 -Command "execute shutdown"
Invoke-SSHCommand -SessionId 0 -Command "y"

it doesn't work.

Thanks a lot,

DoubleD

Hi Markus,

just try it with a SSHStream:

$SSHStream = New-SSHShellStream -Index 0

$SSHStream.WriteLine("execute shutdown") $SSHStream.Read()

Did you look at adding the cmd option to set  Confirm:$false in your script?
