I am trying to use a pexpect script using python v2.3.4 with pexpect module .999 on Solaris 8.
I try to execute this script. #!/usr/bin/env python '''This runs "ls -l" on a remote host using SSH. At the prompts enter hostname, user, and password. ''' import pexpect logfile = open('sshls.log', 'w') child = pexpect.spawn('ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] ls -la') child.setlog(logfile) child.setmaxread(1000) child.expect(pexpect.EOF, timeout=180) print child.before This used to work before but now I get a defunct process after it runs. Any ideas?
