Programming :: TCL Expect Script That Spawns A Telnet Session To A Nortel - Response In Expect_out Is Not Consistent
Dec 2, 2010
I have a TCL expect script that spawns a telnet session to a Nortel DMS100 to execute some commands. The strange thing is that the response in expect_out is not consistent. It sometimes contains a extra enter or newline. This results in differences in the expect out buffer. Here is a part of the script:
send "time
"
sleep 1
expect -re ">"
[code]...
This command displays the time. The correct output should be (with log_user=1):
>time
Time is 11:44:04
>
But sometimes the output is:
>timeTime is 11:45:04
>
As you can see here the is missing on the command that expect sends , or at least in the echo that is comming back. I use a split command to filter out the response in the expect_out buffer, but this fails when the is missing. Here is a example with the debug enabled:
[code]....
I suspect it has something to do with a slow response of the switch. I tried to send the time command slow and with the send_human but the result is the same. A timeout between the send and expect also doesn't help.

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 have done some tcp stream multiplexer. I'm using it as independent login proxy (user is once authenticated and then switched to hidden device (cisco)). But I need to reset session (no connection) configuration, because cisco supports xterm, ctr-c, etc... Am I able to do? Just restart negotiation? Using IAC codes?

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)
[code]...

I am running Ubuntu 9.04 on a wireless networked host machine. The wireless NIC is usb based. Its running inetd for network based servers (telnet, ftp etc).For some reason telnet, ssh or any application specific connection, hangs for a few seconds and then comes back. This happens after every few minutes. I do not loose any sessions or any data flowing across but it is sort of very annoying.It is a dual boot machine and I have also got Windows XP 64-bit. When am running on windows this does not happen, hence am not sure if it is something to do with the wirless nic or something else

I have ubuntu 10.04 & I telnet to windows vista. Even if I create a hidden process [URL].. from batch file . It seems the process gets killed when I end connection at port 23 to host. Maybe , the hidden process created is still child of current telnet session so tree is killed as session ends. Is there a way to keep process running even after telnet session has ended ?

I 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 very bad attempt at hashing the components of an tcp session to assign/locate the session in a hash table bucket. I am pretty sure that it has a very high collision rate and when there are a very large number of tcp sessions my application is having to search a long linked list to find the session within the bucket.
All the hashing functions I have found take a single string input where I need to input several integers and hash them into a single result. My guess is that any real hashing function is going to produce better results than what I am currently doing.

I'm trying to use expect to telnet to web server and send HTTP command like POST, GET, etc.
Here's my code...
But this gives an error
couldn't read file "/cgi-bin/authgw-cgi": no such file or directory
I think this is because of /
How to send / in expect?

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.
spawn ssh user1@$remote_server
expect "password: "
send "$password

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 have got three computers at my home[A,B,C] ( all connected to each other), now I connect to B from A using telnet( $telnet ip_B) , but when I try to connect to C using this telnet session( telnet > open ip_C) , I get this error, "already connected to xxx". Is it possible to connect A to B and then use that session to connect to C, so that C finds that the request is being asked by B.

Is there a similar thing in expect, as there is 'read'(Read a line from standard input) in bash?I mean one could easily construct following script in bash:
Code: > cat script.sh
#!/bin/bash
read -p "Username: " uname

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'll post the entire code here, and then specifically highlight what is just failing in a fashion I'm apparently incapable of fixing a few hours later:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/expect
# The script should be called with a file in the directory called sshServerList
# That file has the following format:
# Line # | Contents of line
[code]....
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}
