I have a script which connects to a remote server and check if some package is installed:

ssh root@server 'bash -s' < myscript.sh 

myscript.sh:

OUT=`rpm -qa | grep ntpdate` if [ "$OUT" != "" ] ; then echo "ntpdate already installed" else yum install $1 fi 

This example could be simplified. Here is myscript2.sh which has same problem:

read -p "Package is not installed. Do you want to install it (y/n)?" choise 

My problem is that bash can not read my answers interactively.

Is there a way to execute local script remotely without losing ability to prompt user?
