SSH Shell Script

Question

I am trying to do a shell script that can connect to a remote machine via ssh

then problem is that I can relly on keys and stuff like that. I just want to add the hostname, user and pass and execute some commands... can someone guide me on that path?

Why do you suppose a product (and for some, a way of life) that is named Secure shell (ssh), would allow you to say, 'Oh, nevermind about the security part' ;-)? You either have to submit a password when you start the program, OR have key files set up on your remote machines OR use expect. Sorry, that's the way it is. Good luck. — shellter

Look into expect for linux.

The script would look something like this:

#!/usr/bin/expect
spawn ssh root@IPADDRESS /script/on/remote/machine
expect "*?assword:*"
send -- "PASSWORDHERE\r"
