General :: Expect: Line Seems To Match Exactly However Expect Thinks Not?
Jun 16, 2010I am writing an expect script. At a certain point there is a rule that produces this debugging output:
Code:
expect: does " Address or name of remote host [x.x.x.x]? " (spawn_id exp8) match glob pattern " Address or name of remote host [x.x.x.x]? "? no This just times out When I use -exact for the expect keyword it does work What am I doing wrong? THe first should also match in my opinion because it is equal as well. Even if I remove the I still have the same issue if I try without -exact. I don't understand. I tried removing the but still got the same.

View 1 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Running An ASP Page From A Shell Script?
Jun 18, 2011I am trying to access an aspx page which, when accessed with certain parameters in the URL, downloads a file. I need to do this with a shell script, rather than interactively. I tried using wget, but I get a response of 302 from the server, which redirects me to the default page and then downloads the default page html itself. I quickly tried curl which seemed to be doing the same thing. It works perfectly from browsers on either Linux or Windows. Originally, I had a problem with interpretation of ampersands in the URL, but I put quotation marks around the URL, so that isn't the problem now.
I cannot fix this on the server side, because the aspx page will be accessed on a variety of servers which are probably all set differently and which aren't under our control.
General :: Running Shell Scripts With Cron
Sep 24, 2009I've been having a bit of trouble running a shell script with cron. A friend of mine does a community radio show and the station has a live stream but no podcasts, so I've set up a script to record the stream and encode it as an mp3 while I'm away using mplayer and lame -that's what I'm trying to do anyway.
Here's the script, but it doesn't seem to run- at least, I don't see any of the files it should be outputing, would they be in the cron.weekly directory (where I have the script) or in my home directory?
#This is a script to record 'The Unnamed Show'
#it will record the show from the live stream, then convert the output #to an MP3
#Finally, it will delete any files no longer required HOME=/home/byron/

General :: Run Script From Another With Multiple User Inputs And Expect
Jun 5, 2011I am literally bashing (pun intended) my head against the keyboard at this minute! I am trying to automate a script via cron for my centos server. The script requires two user inputs (e.g. read VAR). However, I do not want to edit the original file, as I would like to be able to run it normally as well. It is also made by someone else, and so if an update becomes available, it will be easier to install. My idea is that i create a cron script, to run this second script from, and the only way i could find was with expect. However I am having troubles, In order to test out expect, I have created the following:
test.sh
[Code]...
It looks as if the second input is completely ignored ?! what i am doing wrong? or if there is a more elegant solution to running a script from a script with user inputs?

General :: Using The Expect And Send To Execute List Of Commands Inside A File?
Feb 2, 2011i am working on some kind of PBX and i have list of telephone numbers inside a file, i have to insert these numbers into the correct command and then telnet to a remote server and execute these commands. i can read the telephone numbers and insert them into the command with no problem, but when i try to insert these commands into the send i face problem. here is the basic code
#!/bin/bash
read msisdn < input
string="ZZZZ:MSISDN=$msisdn;"
[code]....
i can make external loop inside the Bash which read the input file and issue the command and then telnet and execute, but this will make the script connects and disconnects again for each line which cause high load on that server and hardwar problem. i am wondering if there is an option inside the expect interperter which makes the send read directly from a file... somthing like this:
expect "<"
send "input-filename
"
expect "<"
expect eof

I'd like to be able to run this "archiving script"manually, from the web, at my own discretion, rather than necessarily wait till midnight (but want it to run then, too, in case any new files present themselves in the directory).These shell scripts sit in an .htaccessed directory. Talk about making up verbs all over the place.
View 1 Replies View RelatedSoftware :: Running A Shell Script From Cron ?
Jul 1, 2010Im having some difficulties with running a shell script from cron which I am unable to resolve for almost 2 days now.
For testing purposes, im trying this with simple shell script test.sh with chmod 777
This script is located at /var
When I type /var/test.sh it runs perfectly and prints asdasdasd
When I type /var/test.sh > /home/log it writes asdasdasd to /home/log - works
The problem occurs whenever I add it as a cron job to var/spool/cron/crontab/root
There is: 11 10 * * * /var/test.sh > /home/log - however, at 10:11 there is no file at /home/log
Cron as a service works, forexample, every day at 4 am it makes this backup sshpass -p xxxx rsync -avz -e ssh root@x.x.10.7:/data/backup/ /home/backups/isp_admin
However,
doesnt makes the folder
Where is the catch?
