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.

Programming :: Control VI With Tcl And Expect?
Mar 7, 2011I'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.

Programming :: HTML To PHP To EXPECT Formatting?
Apr 13, 2011I 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 @.

Programming :: Expect/TCL - Unable To Get The Correct Results
Feb 8, 2011I'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.

Programming :: Expect Script Error: Spawn Not Found
Dec 13, 2010I 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??
Programming :: Expect/TCL Logging - Create A Clean Log File?
Apr 14, 2011I'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.
Programming :: Pass An Expect Command Result Into A Variable And Then Use It Again?
May 4, 2010I'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.

2.if I type something like "chess" followed by "enter" key it shouldn't match. the second case is also being matched by the regular expression I have in my code.
Programming :: Avoiding Deadlock With Multiple Locks / Resources
Jun 16, 2011Thanks to a recommendation and extensive help at phpbuilder.com, I have a multithreaded PHP script running in the cloud which fetches images and stores them the cloud. It's fast and seems quite stable.However, I believe I'm faced with a situation where I need to introduce an additional lock to my code so I'm faced with the task of managing multiple locks while avoiding deadlock.I was wondering if anyone had experience managing multiple locks in a MT environment and could recommend specific functions and data structures. I've been reading up on resource management in MT code and understand a few things:
1) Any shared resource (global and static vars, memory, file descriptors, etc.) generally needs to be protected by some kind of mutex, lock, or other sync var.
2) There are certain necessary conditions for deadlock to occur.
3) You generally need a sequence or hierarchy of your resources so that all threads request them in the same order. This sequence must be the same and immutable for all participating threads, whether local or remote.
4) Recursion is a very common cause of deadlock, so a process should know what locks it has acquired previously in order to avoid blocking in the attempt to re-acquire those same locks again.
5) There are a variety of algorithms described such as the Banker's Algorithm, the Chandy/Misra solution, etc. to help avoid deadlock.
I'm hoping to come up with a technique for properly handling multiple locks/mutexes/sync vars that I can re-use in the future, but I'm still coming to grips with the algorithm descriptions and am unsure precisely what sorts of data structures or functions I'll need.

Programming :: TCL Expect Script That Spawns A Telnet Session To A Nortel - Response In Expect_out Is Not Consistent
Dec 2, 2010I 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.
Fedora :: Practice Securing & Scanning System
Nov 29, 2010Recently I've been going over a few resources (like Guide to the Secure Configuration of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5) some forum members have provided and I've been using other resources I use for work (like the UNIX STIG requirements). I would like to improve my skill-set on hardening a linux server (for work and personal interest). Is there a specific linux distro I can install that is purposely corrupted/vulnerable where the sole goal is to secure it, and then have the means to scan it to make sure all vulnerabilities are patched and secured?
