Multiple commands using JSch

Question

My requirement is as follow:
I have to login to Unix box using my credentials and once login, I have to do sudo to different user. Once sudo is successful, I have to invoke shell in nohup. On completion of executions, close channel and session both.

I tried the first step which is connect using sudo command, but I don't know how to invoke shell script after the sudo command.

In the below code I am able to execute sudo command, but after getting sudo access how can I execute a shell in nohup with user masteruser . So that required files created my shell has owner as masteruser .

public class SSHUploader {

    Session session = null;

    public SSHUploader(){

    }

    public void connect(){
    try {

            JSch jsch = new JSch();
            session = jsch.getSession("user", "xxx.xxx.xx.xx", 22);
            session.setPassword("test");
            java.util.Properties config = new java.util.Properties();
            config.put("StrictHostKeyChecking", "no");
            session.setConfig(config);
            session.connect();
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    public void executeCommand(String script) throws JSchException, IOException{
        System.out.println("Execute sudo");
        String sudo_pass = "test";
        ChannelExec channel = (ChannelExec) session.openChannel("exec");
        ((ChannelExec) channel).setCommand( script);

        InputStream in = channel.getInputStream();
        OutputStream out = channel.getOutputStream();
        ((ChannelExec) channel).setErrStream(System.err);

        channel.connect();
        out.write((sudo_pass + "\n").getBytes());
        out.flush();

        byte[] tmp = new byte[1024];
        while (true) {
            while (in.available() > 0) {
                int i = in.read(tmp, 0, 1024);
                if (i < 0)
                    break;
                System.out.print(new String(tmp, 0, i));
            }
            if (channel.isClosed()) {
                System.out.println("exit-status: " + channel.getExitStatus());
                break;
            }
            try {
                Thread.sleep(1000);
            } catch (Exception ee) {
                System.out.println(ee);
            }
        }
        channel.disconnect();
        System.out.println("Sudo disconnect");
    }

    public void disconnect(){
        session.disconnect();
    }


    public static void main(String... args) throws JSchException, IOException {

        SSHUploader up = new SSHUploader();
        up.connect();

        up.executeCommand("sudo -u masteruser bash");

        up.disconnect();
    }

}

Answer 1

For executing multiple commands in sequence, you can create a command string like below:

String script ="pbrun su - user; cd /home/scripts;./sample_script.sh”

Execute it and pass this string to your method above.

Answer 2

The post may be old, but I found another easy way that allows you to retrieve the output of each command separately. Note that this code has to be executed once the session has been opened, as shown in the examples ( http://www.jcraft.com/jsch/examples/Exec.java.html ):

for (String command : commands) {
    ChannelExec channel = (ChannelExec) session.openChannel("exec");
    channel.setInputStream(null);
    channel.setErrStream(System.err);
    channel.setCommand(command);
    channel.connect();
    printOutput(channel);
    channel.disconnect();
}

Where printOutput uses channel.getInputStream() to read the result of the command.
