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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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))
How to redirect send result back to Linux box

Posted by Kan (Kan), 16 November 2005
I've prepared the following script on a Linux machine. The purpose is:
1. Automatically login to a Nortel BLN router.
2. Ping to 2 remote PC to confirm the WAN connectivity where the 2 PC are located.
3. Ping result to be pipe back to a file in the Linux box.


The problem I face is that when i try to redirect the ping to result.log, the log file is not redirected to my source LINUX mch. How to workaround this?


#!/usr/bin/expect
set hostname blnRouteIP
set username RouterLoginName
set password RouterLoginPassword
spawn telnet $hostname
sleep 10
expect "Login: "
send "$usernamer"
expect "Password:"
send "$passwordr"
send "r"
send "ping remotePC1 >result.log\r"
send "ping remotePC2 >>result.log\r"
interact

I would use an expect command to capture the ping results and then open the file and write to it (from expect_out(buffer))

Graham,

Thanks. I got it as what you've suggested.

set ret [open result.txt w]
puts $ret $expect_out(buffer)
