I have a task for my thesis which includes a camera and several LEDs and they can be controlled by some bash commands. To access the system, I need to run ssh root@IP
and access the default path of the system. Under this path there is a script which opens the camera application by running ./foo
and once it is executed, I am inside the camera application. Then, I can check the temperature of the LED's etc by typing i.e. status -t
Now my aim is to automatize this process to check the temperature by a bash script or python code. In Bash, If I run i.e ssh root@192.168.0.1
, ./foo
and status -t
consecutively, I can get the temperature value. However, executing ssh root@192.168.0.1 './foo' 'status -t
, ends in a infinite loop. If I do ssh root@192.168.0.1 './foo'
, I expect to be in camera application but this opens the application weirdly such that I can't execute status -t
afterwards.
I tried also something like this
ssh root@192.168.0.1 << EOF
ls
./foo
status -t
EOF
or in python using subprocess ssh using python and with paramiko.
but nothing really works. What actually differs my situation from the rest of these examples is that my commands depend on each other, one opens another application and run the next command in the next application.
So the questions are 1- Does what I am doing make sense and is it even possible? 2- How to apply is in a script/python code?
