Command not write in buffer with Expect
- by Romuald
Hello,
I try to backup a Linkproof device with expect script and i have some trouble. It's my first script in expect and i have reach my limits ;)
#!/usr/bin/expect
spawn ssh @IPADDRESS
expect "username:"
# Send the username, and then wait for a password prompt.
send "@username\r"
expect "password:"
# Send the password, and then wait for a shell prompt.
send "@password\r"
expect "#"
# Send the prebuilt command, and then wait for another shell prompt.
send "system config immediate\r"
#Send space to pass the pause
expect -re "^ *--More--\[^\n\r]*"
send ""
expect -re "^ *--More--\[^\n\r]*"
send ""
expect -re "^ *--More--\[^\n\r]*"
send ""
# Capture the results of the command into a variable. This can be displayed, or written to disk.
sleep 10
expect -re .*
set results $expect_out(buffer)
# Copy buffer in a file
set config [open linkproof.txt w]
puts $config $results
close $config
# Exit the session.
expect "#"
send "logout\r"
expect eof
The content of the output file:
The authenticity of host '@IP (XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? @username
Please type 'yes' or 'no': @password
Please type 'yes' or 'no': system config immediate
Please type 'yes' or 'no':
Like you can see, the result of the command is not in the file. Could you, please, help me to understantd why ?
Thanks for your help.
Romuald
