Please find below my simple expect telnet script : /usr/bin/expect >set name 172.16.17.160 >spawn telnet $name >set cmd1 command1 >set cmd2 logout >send "$cmd1" >send "$cmd2" >exit When I try for this procedure , I just see loging in and loging out from the telnet session . Actually , I need to have the output result of issuing 'command1' on the remote node to be captured on my local host . But when I try manually , say telnet to it and issue the command , I see the output on my screen . Please help me how to modify my simple code to have the desired result? Thank you __________________________________________
It doesn't require a username or password? I'm guessing it's sending the first command "command1" too soon, before the command prompt appears, so the other end doesn't see it. It only sees the logout command. Try adding: expect "% " or whatever the command prompt is, such as "$ " or "# " before sending the commands. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
