Hi,
I have an expect script that logs into a host (via ssh) requests the hostid then exits... I am happy with that.
However how can I run the same script in a kind of 'while read line' and enter lots of hosts? My knowledge is still very limited (as you will soon see) so any other ideas would be appreciated.
I am trying to update a server list with hostids for each host. I have never logged onto each host before and thus have not set up ssh_keygens.
I have attempted to run the following, but it does not like the host input...
> cat ./hostid_gathering
#!/bin/bash
cat ./host_list | while read LINE; do
./expect_script
done
----------------------------------------------------------------------
> cat expect_script
#!/opt/sfw/bin/expect -f
set timeout -1
set USER "me"
set PASSWORD "my_password"
set HOST "$LINE" <------ Input from the while script does not work
spawn ssh -l $USER $HOST
expect "assword:"
send "$PASSWORD\r"
expect "*%"
send "hostid; exit\r"
expect; # waits for eof, so output is flushed?
puts "\n\nexpect script exiting normally\n";
----------------------------------------------------------------------
> ./hostid_gathering
can't read "LINE": no such variable
while executing
"set HOST "$LINE" "
(file "/expect_script" line 7)
can't read "LINE": no such variable
while executing
"set HOST "$LINE" "
(file "/expect_script" line 7)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Any help would be greatly appreciated...
My next worry will be when the ssh asks for a yes or no answer first, before requesting a Password response.
