A cool SSH auto password program – sshpass – for sys admin remote automation (probably should use keys instead tho)

#!/usr/bin/python
# Usage: ./sshpw.py <password> ssh user@host date
# Description: This is a demo SSH auto password login script via a pseudo tty device (stolen from sshpass - not recommended obviously!)
# Note: This is a rough example script which assumes you have already accepted the fingerprint & have the right password
