Execute bash script from URL
source <(curl -s http://mywebsite.example/myscript.txt)
ought to do it. Alternately, leave off the initial redirection on yours, which is redirecting standard input; bash
takes a filename to execute just fine without redirection, and <(command)
syntax provides a path.
bash <(curl -s http://mywebsite.example/myscript.txt)
It may be clearer if you look at the output of echo <(cat /dev/null)
For bash, Bourne shell and fish:
curl -s http://server/path/script.sh | bash -s arg1 arg2
Flag "-s" makes shell read from stdin.
Use:
curl -s -L URL_TO_SCRIPT_HERE | bash
For example:
curl -s -L http://bitly/10hA8iC | bash
This is the way to execute remote script with passing to it some arguments (arg1 arg2):
curl -s http://server/path/script.sh | bash /dev/stdin arg1 arg2
