I didn t understand how the accepted answer answers the actual question of how to run any commands on the server after sshpass is given from within the bash script file  For that reason  I m providing an answer     After your provided script commands  execute additional commands like below   sshpass -p  password  ssh user host  ls  whois google com    or whichever commands you would like to use  for multiple commands provide a semicolon   after the command   In your script       bin bash  sshpass -p  password  ssh user host  ls  whois google com

Do which sshpass in your command line to get the absolute path to sshpass and replace it in the bash script    You should also probably do the same with the command you are trying to run   The problem might be that it is not finding it

Try the  -o StrictHostKeyChecking no  option to ssh  -o  being the flag that tells ssh that your are going to use an option    This accepts any incoming RSA key from your ssh connection  even if the key is not in the  known host  list   sshpass -p  password  ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking no user host  command
