How to execute mongo commands from bash?

Question

I am trying to run this command from bash script:

 mongo 192.168.10.20:27000 --eval \"use admin && db.shutdownServer() && quit()\"

Answer 1

From the mongo docs:

--eval option

Use the --eval option to mongo to pass the shell a JavaScript fragment, as in the following: mongo test --eval "printjson(db.getCollectionNames())"

You can also put your JS Fragments into a .js file then do:

mongo < myScript.js
