I'm trying to automate the collection of data to remote devices over
ssh via pexpect. I had originally attempted (with limited success) to
use paramiko, however due to cisco's ssh implimentation I cannot send
mulitple commands over the same connection, which is absolutely
essential. Therefore, I'm now attempting to use pexpect, but am
having trouble getting started. I have a simple script, such as:
session = pexpect.spawn('ssh u...@host')
session.expect([pexpect.TIMETOUT, 'password:'])
session.send('password')
print session.read() # shouldn't this display the logon banner & command prompt?
session.close()
This code results in no output & a hanging window. What am I doing incorrect?
Additionally, I will need to add conditional pexpect statements, such
that when I execute a command I want to gather the output, however if
'--More--' is encountered (and it this can happen multiple times), I
want to send a newline character to the session and continue gathering
the output.
Thanks for the help!
Nathan
