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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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))
expect_out(buffer) not giving output to local m/c

Posted by dibya.jyoti (dibya.jyoti), 7 September 2007
Hi,
I am using expect_out(buffer) to redirect the output of the last command to local m/c. But I am not getting the output locally. I just did "apt-get install expect " . 3 days back on the same machine I used it and it worked. today I did again reinstalled , but it is not working now.
Here is the code which I am having ::

#!/usr/bin/expect
# Set the DISPLAY environment variable (as a test)
set env(DISPLAY) chilli:0
set timeout 30
spawn ssh -p 222 ipcs@192.168.15.140
# Not absolutely necessary, but good to keep the spawn_id for later
set telnet $spawn_id
# Case insensitive, just in case..
expect -nocase "Password:"
send  "SIPera_123\r"
# My telnetd insisted on an uppercase P. This works bothways
# Match the prompt (contains a $)
#expect -re {\$}
expect -nocase "TMobile"
send "sudo su\r"
expect -nocase "TMobile"
# Get the environment variables
send "cat /proc/meminfo\r"
expect -nocase "TMobile"
## To send output to a local Machine
set abc1 $expect_out(buffer)
puts "The value of meminfo is $abc1 \n I think this "
 
exit


Please help me out. I am not able move further without doing this.

Thanks,
-jyoti

If it worked three days ago but not now, the obvious question is "what has changed"?   If you cxan't work it our easily, run the ssh session manually and compare what it does to the script.
