I am working on an expect script to login into a server and copy few wars across the folders. But when i execute it I am getting the following error:
[exec] loginServer.sh: spawn: not found.
[exec] loginServer.sh: expect: 0403-006 Execute permission denied.
[exec] send: -- unknown
The first line is : #!/usr/bin/expect -f.Is this anything to do with server setting or configuration that doesn't allow spawn??
my tcl framework give exception - send: spawn id exp1025 not open - while executing command - exp_send "echo $ABC". Though this is very sporadic in nature and frequency of occurrence is very less, but still i need to fix it.
I have following queries
- why does this occur so sporadically?
- how do i fix it?
- what shall i do to avoid such exceptions in future.
Note : The function which runs the exp_send command always spawn a bash whenever it is called.
I am moving my migration forward and am trying to get my expect scripts tested and found one that no longer works. Quite simply, it spawns a telnet session to a router.
#!/usr/bin/expect
set env(TERM) vt100
set timeout 3
set send_human {.1 .3 1 .05 2}
set timeout -1
#
spawn telnet 10.254.3.232
and that's it. The result of the script is that the command to spawn simply shows up on the screen like it is a puts command. On my older openSUSE system, it worked fine. I am running Ubuntu v9.10 desktop, and expect and its libs are patched to the latest rev, expect is 5.43.0.
I am trying to make a script that can be used to check server load on a remote server and produces sound on our local machine, when server load exceeds a particular limit.1. I want to execute command uptime or uptime | awk '{print$10}'on the remote server and store the result in a variable(say x), and later use it in the bash script.
Bash Part
#!/bin/bash
x=$(/root/Desktop/exp)

View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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.
I have a minimal installation of Ubuntu, with lxde-core and some other apps I really use. Sometimes when I start the system, it hangs and nothing else happens. I hit Esc and then I see:Code:init: Failed to spawn rc-sysinit main porcess: Unable to open console: Input/Output error.I get stuck there, and the only thing I can do is to hold the power button, shutdown, boot again, and pray it will boot fine. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't.

I'm using expect to log into a remote server and run a script. I want to able to have expect edit the output from that script, on the remote server, in VI. Has anyone ever done this before, it seems as though the expect interpreter has nothing to expect once VI is started, the file pointer starts at the beginning of the line, and expect usually reads the characters before the pointer.

I wrote an expect script that tests user authentication against a RADIUS server. The username is an email address, including an @ sign. I recently wrote an HTML/PHP front end to allow others to input username/password into a form and then see the results when they hit submit. Expect code that takes two args username, and password
Code:
expect "#"
send "test aaa group radius [lindex $argv 0] [lindex $argv 1] new-code
"expect "#"
[code]....
Every works as it's supposed to, except for the output of the script. When it displays on the webpage, it's segmented weirdly with all throughout. What I've found is when I remove the @ sign in the username input, it fixes it. Is there any part of HTML or PHP that treats the @ as a special character? 1 more thing is that I have another HTML/PHP/EXP script that works fine with the @.
I am starting a new job, and need to brush up on my expect scripting. does anyone know of any online resources, e.g. telnet sites that I can play about with?

I am having some difficulties with an expect script. What I want is that as soon as expect sees a newline followed by a dollarsign ($), that interact is done. So I would expect something like this to work:
Code:
"
$" { interact }
However it doesn't.
This is debugging output:
Code:
expect: continuing expect
expect: does " " (spawn_id exp6) match glob pattern "#"? no

just as an excercise I'm trying to write a script that would automaticly install java using an expect script.I create the expect script with autoexpect and it works. But only if I don't change the size of the window. It always hang at the line with "--More--". So I changed the script and it boiled down to this
Code:
set force_conservative 0 ;# set to 1 to force conservative mode even if
;# script wasn't run conservatively originally

I've had all kinds of different results and problems, but I've never been able to successfully log into multiple servers, though the first server in the list most times works okay (though might not on this iteration). I'm a bit hack and slash and I would be very greatful not only for a solution, but any tips on how I should have done this and places where I could clean up my code.
I want to write a function in expect/tcl which logins into a router. but the syntax is a little confusing .
case 1: router prompts for "username".. {we put in username and password .. if they are incorrect we try with another username and password. if we succeed into getting a prompt we return 1 .. if both username passwords are wrong or we time out we return 0 }
case 2: router prompts for "login" .. {we put in username and password .. if they are incorrect we try with another username and password. if we succeed into getting a prompt we return 1 .. if both username passwords are wrong or we time out we return 0 }
case 3: router prompts for "password" only .. { we login just using the password and get to the enable prompt}

I'm trying to do a svnsync of this public repo: http://svn.runuo.com/repos/runuo/devel/ so I can access the repo when my machine is offline. I get this error at revision 419 svnsync: File not found: transaction '419-bn', path '/devel/Scripts/Engines/Doom/Lamp Room/LampController.cs'

I've written an Expect script that assists with change management on Cisco devices. The script creates log files for pre-change, the change itself, and post-change. Each log and its commands is triggered by a ! command. For example:
Code:
./dochange.exp hostname
<script spawns bash, user SSHes to hostname>
!PRE
[code]....
All of this works fine. My big hair-pulling hiccup is that the resulting log files are filled with raw backspace characters! I am using log_file to log the output from the script. I stop and restart logging with a new file when needed. However, the log files are pretty much unusable. After doing some research, it looks like log_file sends output to the file in real-time, unbuffered. When I hit a key, it's immediately sent to the log. What I would like is for only the resulting string to go to the log. If I start to type 'reload' and instead type 'show run', I don't want 'reload' to be listed in the log at all.
I'm trying to create a program that would locate the oldest file of a certain type on a server. Here's the commands:
OLDEST_PATH=`find -L / -depth -maxdepth 6 -mindepth 6 -type d | sort -f | head -1`
OLDEST_FILE=`find -L $OLDEST_PATH | grep .mp3 | sort -f | head -1`
ls -al $OLDEST_FILE
I'm writing this all in expect but I'm having problems. The main problem I have is whenever I try to run the first command, I can't seem to isolate the result of the OLDEST_PATH so that the 2nd command will work. There always seems to be a newline in the variable and the result is only "find -L" command running and it bypasses the variable. If I can just figure out how to get the 1st and 2nd command to work, then I can figure out the 3rd. Here's some code:
Code:
send "find -L / -depth -maxdepth 6 -mindepth 6 -type d | sort -f | head -1
"
sleep 20
expect -re "(.*)
[Code]....
I know there is a better way to write this. I've tried multiple ways and this just happens to be the last way I've tried it. If you try running this, you'll notice that there is still carriage returns after the result of OLDEST_PATH and it prevents the 2nd "find" command from working properly.
Using zstyle, I can create a custom warning for messages and such, but looking into the man pages and all, I do not see anything for customizing actual error messages in ZSH, as such:
