SSH execute command with password

No need to confirm fingerprint, no need to type password in keyboard, just put password as command-line argument to execute command via SSH, suit for using in scripts.

Written in Java, Run under both Windows and Linux.

By now only those output-only commands are supported, such as ls, df, vmstat.

Usage as standalone run

Basic options similar to the standard ssh client

0. Install Java 11 or above.
1. Download, unzip from the Releases page.
2. Run in command prompt, arguments are same as the standard ssh command, plus --password option, like

ssh-execute --password OpenSesame alibaba@192.168.0.1 "ls -l --color /tmp"

or

ssh-execute -l alibaba --password OpenSesame -p 22 192.168.0.1 "ls -l --color /tmp"

Specify connection timeout in seconds:

ssh-execute -o ConnectTimeout=10 --password OpenSesame alibaba@192.168.0.1 "ls -l --color /tmp"

Extra options

Specify command timeout in seconds:

ssh-execute --command-timeout 10 --password OpenSesame alibaba@192.168.0.1 "ls -l --color /tmp"

Specify connection timeout in seconds with a new option name to keep the style:

ssh-execute --connect-timeout 10 --password OpenSesame alibaba@192.168.0.1 "ls -l --color /tmp"
