Hello everybody :),

 

I want to connect via ssh to the fortigate and make a reboot. code: sshpass -p 'password' ssh admin@192.168.209.155 exec reboot The fortigate expects y or n, how do I get the fortigate said y or n?

maybe like so?

echo y | sshpass -p 'password' ssh admin@192.168.209.155 exec reboot

That depends on how sshpass treats stdin. I would give it a try.

Hi Ede,

 

looks not good.

the 'y' is not sending to the Fortinet.

 

At the moment I try it now with the expect command.

 

code:

 

spawn sshpass -p "password" ssh admin@192.168.209.155 exec reboot expect "Do you want to continue? (y/n)" {send_user "y\r"} expect eof ----------------------

but this are also not working.
