Hi all,

I have a requirement where in i need to execute a script using tcl. The script will be executed from a linux or solari box logging to another linux machine for whch i will be using spawn <ip address>

#!/home/pub/bin/expect
spawn telnet 172.16.69.34 23
expect "login name:"
send "administrator\r"
expect "password:"
send "Administrator1@\r"
expect "Windows NT Domain:"
send "\r"
expect "C:\WINNT\Profiles\Administrator>"
send "\r"
expect "C:\WINNT\Profiles\Administrator>"
send "cd ../../../\r"
expect "c:\>"
send "cd program files/ap/osu/bin\r"
expect "C:\PROGRAM FILES\AP\OSU\bin>"
send "osumgr -j ExportSiteParams -a run -d\r"
expect {
-re ".*Generic Error.*" {puts "Success

Here initially i amusing "#!/home/pub/bin/expect" but through the script i need to expect something for which i am not able to use tcl languae flexibly like open file and match some patter etc.

Is there any other easier way to connect to the linux machine without expect like the heaer should be #!/home/bin/tclsh so that i can use all tcl commands flexible.

Thanks in advance...

Please help me in proceeding further......

Hi there,

Your question is a little unclear, as you mention connecting from a *NIX box to a Linux box, but the code you included seems to be trying to telnet to a Windows box?

If both sides are indeed *NIX boxes, I'd suggest you use SSH rather than TELNET to connect, and you set up pre-shared keys, so you can log in without a password. After doing that, you can easily run a TCL script on the target machine.

If the target is a Windows box, you should be able to achieve the same, except that you need to set up an SSH server first. Look at http://www.cygwin.com/ and http://sourceforge.net/projects/sshwindows/ for this.

Hi,

Thanks for the update... Sorry for confusion...

Yes i have scenarios where i can run the scripts from Linux to Linux and Linux to windows.

Let us say i have a sample script ..

connect to linux or windows machine
set a 5
puts $a

This i want to execute from a linux machine where it should connect to another linux or windows machine and get executed there where in the above code first step would be connecting to the machine and then the next two lines of code..

What is the code to connect to the linux or windows machine ? Hope it is claer now.. Can you give me the sample code here...
