But, I'm in an environment where PubKeyAuthentication is not allowed in ssh :( So, I'm confused how to automate it as cronjob.
Before you start, consider enabling public keys or requesting that to your sysadmin, since using them is much more secure than storing your passwords in text scripts.
However, I read somewhere that we can write a little bash script that will utilize 'expect' to answer for the ssh password prompt? Can we do this?
Yes.
Any examples are great help.

Thanks guys, Yes, I agree keybased ssh is much more secure right. Let see what I can do.
