Subject: [SLUG] automating a telnet session using EXPECT
expect "LOGIN PROMPT"
send "COMMAND TO BE EXECUTED"
the last EXPECT/SEND pair do not execute.
>> <<
That's because the script wasn't able to detect "LOGIN PROMPT". Depending on
your shell you may wish to replace "LOGIN PROMPT" with something like
expect {
*>* { send "/bin/ls" }
*#* { send "/bin/ls -l" }
}
'man expect' for more info. I am sure CPAN has a perl module that you can
download for this purpose. Can't remember which one though. Just do a search
in CPAN.
