Re^2: regular expression matching in expect

in thread regular expression matching in expect

That regular expression works fine. Thanks a lot.

However i am facing a new issue now. After ssh, I can encounter either RSA key authentication and password prompt(First time) or only password prompt. Then I want to be able to continue to look for bash prompt so that I can continue my other linux commands.Here is my code snippet

$exp->spawn("ssh -l root $sshHostname") or die "cannot spawn ssh: $!\n
+";
$exp->expect($timeout,[ qr/RSA/i,#/ 
           sub { my $fh = shift;
                  $fh->send("yes\n");
                   });
$exp->expect($timeout,'-re','password' => sub { my $fh = shift;
                $fh->send("$sshPWD\n");}
        );
$exp->log_file->print("#Successfully ssh'ed in\n");
$exp->expect($timeout, '-re','~]#' => sub {my $fh = shift;
                $fh->send("cd /u0x/tmp\n");}

If you're not too picky about remote host authentication... `ssh -o 'StrictHostKeyChecking no' -o 'CheckHostIP no' $host` [download] See `man ssh_config` for more details. It can also be handy to use options to set the `known_hosts` file to `/dev/null`. Otherwise if you're picky it's probably best to manually ssh to all of your destination hosts once and accept the key manually and then failing if you get anything but login / password. It may be even handier to use the `-l` option to ssh to specify the login name so you don't have to try and match for the login case. Then you get down to the way my simple scripts of this type work: ssh as a specific user, ignore host key stuff, just wait for password and then the prompt... anything else is a die.	[reply] [d/l]

Well, what error message do you receive? According to the documentation, near the New more Tcl/Expect-like interface of `$object->expect()`, you can return 'exp_continue' symbol from your callback sub to continue matching with next callback. Are you sure it won't be easier to use some SSH-related modules, for example, Net::SSH::Expect? Sorry if my advice was wrong.	[reply] [d/l]

I did try using exp_continue; statement after every send but that didnt seem to help either. BTW. what advantage will Net::ssh offer that Use Expect doesnt?	[reply]

I did try using exp_continue; statement after every send but that didnt seem to help either. Did you try returning it? what advantage will Net::ssh offer that Use Expect doesnt? More clean Perl code? You will need only to do things in ssh instead of running ssh manually and agreeing with it. Sorry if my advice was wrong.	[reply]
