Have to recomment the Exploring Expect book for all expect programmers — invaluable. I’ve rewritten your code: (untested) proc login {user pass} { expect “login:” send “$user\r” expect “password:” send “$pass\r” } set username spongebob set passwords {squarepants rhombuspants} set index 0 spawn telnet 192.168.40.100 login $username [lindex $passwords $index] expect { “login incorrect” { … Read more
I always used the “proper” solution, but I used expect in other situations. Here I found following suggestion: #!/usr/local/bin/expect spawn sftp -b cmdFile user@yourserver.com expect “password:” send “shhh!\n”; interact
Expect is an extension of Tcl. Tcl access enviroment variables via the global env array: send_user “$env(PATH)\n”
With MikTeX, pdflatex has this command-line option: -interaction=MODE Set the interaction mode; MODE must be one of: batchmode, nonstopmode, scrollmode, errorstopmode. Edit suggested by @9999years: Those values are equivalent to a set of LaTeX \commands that provide the same functionality. From TeX usage tips: The modes make TeX behave in the following way: errorstopmode stops … Read more
If you want to read from arguments, you can achieve this simply by set username [lindex $argv 0]; set password [lindex $argv 1]; And print it send_user “$username $password” That script will print $ ./test.exp user1 pass1 user1 pass1 You can use Debug mode $ ./test.exp -d user1 pass1
Basically, in this example I wanted to get some variable values in particular places of the code; and have them output until the program crashes. So here is first a little program which is guaranteed to crash in a few steps, test.c: #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> int icount = 1; // default value main(int argc, … Read more
Mixing Bash and Expect is not a good way to achieve the desired effect. I’d try to use only Expect: #!/usr/bin/expect eval spawn ssh -oStrictHostKeyChecking=no -oCheckHostIP=no usr@$myhost.example.com # Use the correct prompt set prompt “:|#|\\\$” interact -o -nobuffer -re $prompt return send “my_password\r” interact -o -nobuffer -re $prompt return send “my_command1\r” interact -o -nobuffer -re … Read more
