My logs aren't correct. Im trying to log failure and successes, then use the resulting successes file "seed" to perform another function. Problem is that the log has only a single random entry.

Thanks in advance for the help !

!#/usr/bin/expect
set count 0 
set bcount 0 
set fcnb 923
set ifil [open "new" r]
while { [gets $ifil host] >=0 } {
set timeout 4
log_user 0
set err [open $fcnb.errlog w]
set oseed [open "seed" w]
   spawn ping -c1 $host
    expect { 
          "rtt" {
                set count [expr $count + 1] 
                puts "$count $host ping ok"
                puts $oseed "$host"
                #puts $oseed "$host\n"
                } 
        default {
                set bcount [expr $bcount + 1]
                puts "Error : $bcount $host ping nok"
                puts $err "$bcount $host ping nok"
                #continue
                }
           }
} 
close $ifil
close $oseed
close $err
# End ping while 
#sleep 5
puts "==============================================="
puts "loop through the file of \"good\" pings"
puts "==============================================="
set iseed [open "seed" r]
while { [gets $iseed ip] >=0 } {puts $ip}
close $iseed

The ouput

1 10.121.216.54 ping ok
2 10.121.218.106 ping ok
3 10.121.218.14 ping ok
Error : 1 153.89.89.234 ping nok
4 10.121.218.82 ping ok
Error : 2 135.99.89.89 ping nok
5 10.122.178.122 ping ok

loop through the file of "good" pings

10.122.178.122

TSCH !! The answer is to take the opens out of the loop !
