Security Note

This script uses sshpass to automate SSH connections. While convenient, this method is not considered secure for production environments. In production, it's recommended to use SSH keys for authentication instead of passwords.

Customization

You can modify the script to add or remove services, change the order of operations, or add additional checks as needed for your specific Lightbits environment.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues:

1. Ensure you have the correct hostname, username, and password for the target server.
2. Verify that you have the necessary permissions to perform the requested actions on the server.
3. Check the server's network connectivity and SSH configuration.

For any persistent issues, please contact your system administrator or Lightbits support.
