I have two computers with Ubuntu 12.04.4 and 12.04.2. The 12.04.2 is set up to request a password before login on start up.

When the PC is turn on I am able to connected to the 12.04.2 from 12.04.4 using SSH but if the 12.04.2 is restarted I am not able to connect.

I guess this is because the user is not log in yet in 12.04.2.

Is there a way to connect to the PC if it is restarted and the user is not yet log in?

  • You have to login somehow to restart the system... also you sure the ssh server is running/installed in both systems?

  • @Braiam It was not running on the second machine as the user was not logged in. I need to start the ssh on reboot using MortelaLCS solution. I have found and other alternatives to do this using crontab with @reboot event.

your question is not clear for me..

I guess:

1)try to find a place that runs commands on boot up..usually in /etc then just write: (you can add commans at /home/user/.bashrc OR /etc/rc.local)

/etc/init.d/ssh start
/etc/init.d/networking start

I guess:

2)you can add ssh command connection to .bashrc with sshpass command

sshpass -p<password>

This make auto ssh connection for you.

Hope to be helpful for you
