I am trying to implement an expect script into a bash script. Bear with me since I am fairly new to bash/expect.
Here is the expect script that works as intended:
log_user 0
file delete foo.txt
set fh [open foo.txt a]
set servers {xxx@server1 xxx@server2}
foreach s $servers {
spawn ssh $s
expect "password: "
send "PASSWORD\r"
expect "$ "
send "grep "something" /some/log/file.log"
expect "$ " { puts $fh "$expect_out(buffer)"}
send "exit\r"
}
close $fh
Now, I am hoping to include this expect script in a bash script but it is not working as intended.
Here is what I have so far:
#!/bin/bash
XYZ=$(expect -c "
file delete foo.txt
set fh [open foo.txt a]
set servers {xxx@server1 xxx@server2}
foreach s $servers {
spawn ssh $s
expect "password: "
send "PASSWORD\r"
expect "$ "
send "grep "something" /some/log/file.log"
expect "$ " { puts $fh "$expect_out(buffer)"}
send "exit\r"
}
close $fh
")
echo "$XYZ"
The error I am getting is:
command substitution: line 42: syntax error near unexpected token `('
command substitution: line 42: `expect "$ " { puts $fh "$expect_out(buffer)"}'
I'm open to any other ways to implement this! :)
You can use /usr/bin/expect -c
to execute expect
commands :
#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/expect -c '
file delete foo.txt
set fh [open foo.txt a]
set servers {xxx@server1 xxx@server2}
foreach s $servers {
spawn ssh $s
expect "password: "
send "PASSWORD\r"
expect "$ "
send "grep "something" /some/log/file.log"
expect "$ " { puts $fh "$expect_out(buffer)"}
send "exit\r"
}
close $fh
