For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))
Calling a file during telnet expect

Posted by mansoorx (mansoorx), 9 May 2007
Hello,
 
I would like to run a Multiple commends in a spawn telnet, my telnet device is a router;

when i telnet through the Expect to the router,

#!/usr/bin/expect -f
log_user 0
spawn telnet [lindex $argv 0]
expect "Username:"
send "mansoorx\r"
expect "Password:"
send "xxxxxx\r"
expect [lindex $argv 1]
send "enable\r"
expect "Password:"
send "yyyyyyy\r"
expect [lindex $argv 1]
send "conf t\r"
expect [lindex $argv 1]  

and  now i would like to call a file of multiple commands from  a linux server.

is it possible.

Thank you.

So the file of commands you want to run is on the machine on which you're running the expect script is it?   If so, you can open the file using standard Tcl commands and wrie a loop to send each of them, expecting the appropriate response, from your router.

If the Linux box in question IS the router, then you can kick the file of commands off by sending just what you would send from a normal telnet session in order to run the commands

And if the Linux box is a third system .... I guess you could use another spawned connection within expect to grab it, then proceed with it as if it was on your local (expect host) machine.
