SSH -i command not found

ssh

I want a run a script located on server 2 from server 1.

I am running this command line on server 1:

/home/user_x/keys.pem -t -t ec2-user@10.10.10.10 sudo
/home/gather/scripts/startTomcat6_nonroot.sh

Which give me this error:

/home/user_y/tomcat/bin/startup.sh: line 11: uname: command not found

Here is the snippet of this file on server 2 containing the uname command:

#!/bin/sh
os400=false
darwin=false
#line bellow is number 11, the one failing
case "`uname`" in
CYGWIN*) cygwin=true;;
OS400*) os400=true;;
Darwin*) darwin=true;;
esac

The most likely cause for this is a $PATH on server 2 that doesn't include uname; sanity check the environment variables when logged in under that user.

SSH Key – How to Create a Public Key from a Private Key

Use the -y option to ssh-keygen:

ssh-keygen -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa -y > ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

From the 'man ssh-keygen'

 -y      This option will read a private OpenSSH format file and print an
         OpenSSH public key to stdout.

Specify the private key with the -f option, yours might be dsa instead of rsa. The name of your private key probably contains which you used. The newly generated public key should be the same as the one you generated before.
