Send Keystrokes through Command File for Ubuntu

[BurneyProMod]

Hi all,

 

I'm doing a school project where we have to get 6 raspberry pi's to cluster together and transcode a video. The problem is that we have 1 monitor, 1 mouse, and 1 keyboard for all 6 pi's, so swapping out peripherals eats up a lot of time. 

I found out today I can open a new tab in the cmd and ssh to the other pis to work on their command lines from one machine. 

I was wondering if I can make a command file to open a new tab (Shift+Ctrl+T), enter "ssh pi@worker[1], execute, then open a new tab and repeat for worker[1-5]

 

The OS we're running is Raspian if that's any help.

 

Thanks in advanced for any help.

you probably don't want this script to open a new tab and run it, but you probably want the script to just run a command on a remote system, and you can easily do that over ssh.

 

You can run ssh pi@pi2 'yourcommand.sh' to run youcommand.sh on pi2

Addition to above post; you will want to export your ssh keys so you can execute commands without having to type in a password https://www.thegeekstuff.com/2008/11/3-steps-to-perform-ssh-login-without-password-using-ssh-keygen-ssh-copy-id/
