Using Plink to run a command

Question

I am trying to create a script to login to a remote server and run a command. The script is as follows

plink.exe UserName@ServerIP -pw PASSWORD -batch -m PATHTOFILEWITHSCRIPT.txt

PATHTOFILEWITHSCRIPT.txt has this line

debug software restart process user-id

The script when run logs into the server but does not run the command.

Any ideas?

Thanks Martin. For others looking for the answer this is the format that you need echo COMMAND | plink.exe UserName@ServerIP -pw PASSWORD -batch -ssh — user2009484, Nov 17 '21 at 18:29

The format that is required is

echo COMMAND | plink.exe USER@SERVER -pwd PASSWORD -batch

where COMMAND is the command that you want to run after you log in
