Thanks for all your suggestions, as I basically wanted to create an icon on the desktop to turn off the firewall/server, I went with expect. I also discovered cygwin on my journeys so am very happy - I just have a single script for all systems. I didn't read the docs carefully enough, and didn't see that autoexpect is just a script, so downloading from the expect site + gentoo expect solved it for gentoo.

I turn on my emergency system every couple of weeks, "emerge --sync" and "emerge --ask --deep --update --world", run etc-update if necessary and then shut down. I have a honking big 19" CRT on my desk at home, and the KVM is used elsewhere. The machine name is m450 (450 mhz PIII). My main machine is m3000 (AMD64 3000+). There is an ordinary user "waltdnes" on m450. /etc/sudoers on m450 contains the following line... waltdnes m450 = (root) NOPASSWD: /sbin/poweroff I have a short script ~/bin/stopm450 on m3000 ... #!/bin/bash ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] sudo /sbin/poweroff To shut down... 1) via ssh shut down unnecessary programs on m450 2) exit all ssh sessions to m450 3) stopm450 -- Walter Dnes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> In linux /sbin/init is Job #1 My musings on technology and security at http://tech_sec.blog.ca -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Here is a link that you may have seen but will do what you would "expect"...pardon the pun. Perl with Expect module or Just Expect on its own. http://www.infocopter.com/perl_corner/expect.htm Hope this helps, Rob signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
Re: [gentoo-user] autoexpect?
Hello, If you create a private-public pair with ssh-keygen you can access to the other machine without a password. Then your script would call ssh and probably "sudo /sbin/poweroff" as a parameter to halt the remote machine.

[gentoo-user] autoexpect?
Hi, I would like to write a script to log in to a network machine and run halt (for the missus, who doesn't really like logging in via ssh just to turn of the internet connection...), and saw that autoexpect looks like it would fit the bill. It doesn't seem to be in portage and it seems a lot more difficult with expect... Any ideas? Cheers Antoine -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
