Need help with expect script

mangal023 · 05-16-2014, 04:58 PM

Hello,

I'm trying to test expect script which i have written. I'm using a ssh session connect. Below is my script:

#!/usr/bin/expect -f

spawn ssh "domain\username"@localhost
expect "?assword:"
send "$PWD\r"
expect "$"
send "date\r"
expect "$"
send "exit\r"

When i execute this script, I'm getting an output like this:

extra characters after close-quote
while executing
"spawn ssh "domain\username"@localhost
expect "?assword:"
send "$PWD\r"
expect "$"
send "date\r"
send "e..."

Can someone help me out...

Thanks

I usually use autoexpect. Try it maybe.

Do those commands work correctly from shell?
