Create a simple shell script thing?

Hey,

I'm trying to make a simple command script thing. I have no idea what I'm doing though.

I just want a file that I can click and open in terminal that will:
1. ssh user@domain.com
2. auto enter the password (if this is really complicated then it can be skipped)
3. cd public_html/blog
4. svn up
5. like 5 sec delayed exit (if possible)

I'm thinking this is a really easy thing to do for someone who knows what they're doing.

So can someone tell me what I have to do to make this? I would really like to learn how to do this.

Thank you

Instead of making a script, you could just as well write a bash function for this and put it in your .bashrc.
something like this:

update-svn-on-domain ()
{
  ssh -t user@domain.com 'svn up public_html/blog'
}

when the svn up is done, the ssh command stops, and the function returns. it does everything you want except auto entering passwords.
i strongly discourage auto entering passwords. i recommend you to setup rsa key authentication
