Execute Shell Scripts at a Remote Host

1

Hi

I need to execute few Shell Scripts which live at a remote machine. As of now, am using a third party library (JSch). I just got introduced to Shell-Task. Can I use this to connect to a remote host and then execute the script there by passing some arguments ?

As of now , the code in my Service-Task class looks like this : -

                     JSch jsch=new JSch(); 
		 jsch.addIdentity("/root/.ssh/id_rsa"); // Private Key path, so that password is not needed
		 Session session=jsch.getSession(userName,"HostName");
		 java.util.Properties config = new java.util.Properties(); 
		 config.put("StrictHostKeyChecking", "no");
		 session.setConfig(config);
		 session.connect();
		 Channel channel = session.openChannel("exec");
	                 ChannelExec channelExe = (ChannelExec) channel;
                     channelExe.setCommand(scriptPath+arguments);

Hi,

The shell task logic executes the commands locally on the server running the Flowable Engine. You can always override the default Shell task behavior class with your own implementation.

Thanks @tijs. I take it as a :+1: for my implementation :).
