Hi guys, sorry to submit what seems to be a really basic issue, but I didn't find any relevant info searching the web. Here is my problem. I'm running expect scripts on a SunOS 5.8 to connect to routers/switchs and perform repetitive tasks. Everything works properly. Now I would like to use expect scripting to run shell commands on the sun station (snmpwalk...), my issue lies in the fact I don't see the commands in "send" after logging, and the outputs of this commands neither. Here is a script I tried for just connecting the server, login, and performing a "ls" : --------------- #!/usr/local/bin/expect -f set env(TERM) vt100 spawn telnet IPaddy expect -- "login:" {send "blah\r"} sleep 1 expect -- "Password:" {send "blah\r"} send_user "\n step1 \n" send "ls\r" send_user "step2 \n" send "blahblahblah-whatever\r" --------------- Here is the result when executing the script : [puter]/home/blah #test3.exp spawn telnet IPaddy Trying x.x.x.x... Connected to x.x.x.x Escape character is '^]'. SunOS 5.8 login: blah Password: step1 step2 [puter]/home/blah # ---> no ls is "printed" on screen, no ls output either... I tried to spawn a shell instead of a telnet, with no better results. Any idea what's wrong ? Cheers, Nicolas.
