Re: NET::OpenSSH to execute multiple commands

[toolic]

Also in the foreach loop, can I read from 2 arrays? Like foreach (@arra1 || @arra2)?

The following will loop through the elements of the 1st array then loop through those of the 2nd array, as if the 2 arrays were one big happy list:

foreach (@arra1, @arra2)

See also List::MoreUtils::zip if you want to alternate elements.

Thanks for the reply. I'm still having problems with it. I will paste my code snippet to get some feedback if possible

$user="myname";
$pass="mypass";

@ip = split( /\./, $IPNumber );
if ( $ip[0] == 110 ) {
    $rtrIP = "10.10.10.1";
}
else if ( $ip[0] == 120 ) {
    $rtrIP = "10.20.20.1";
}
else {
    die( "not in my range" );
}    
($Core) = &SSHconnect( $rtrIP, $user, $pass );
@Output = $Core->capture( "show ip route $IPNumber" ) or
   die( " command failed: " . ($! >> 8) );

($Core2) = &SSHconnect( $rtrIP, $user, $pass );
@Output2 = $Core2->capture( "show run | include hostname" ) or
   die( " command failed: " . ($! >> 8) );

foreach $Line ( @Output || @Output2 ) {
   if ( $Line =~ m/^Routing entry for / ) {
      @Data = split( ' ', $Line );
      $Subnet = $Data[ 3 ] ;
      last ;
   }
   if ( $Line =~ m/^hostname / ) {
      @Data2 = split( ' ', $Line );
      $Rname = $Data[ 2 ] ;
      last ;
    }
}
@network = split( /\./, $Subnet );
$rIP = join( '.', $network[0], $network[1], $network[2], '1' );

foreach $Line ( @Output || @Output2 ) {

The foreach loop will probably get executed only once, and $Line will take on a value equal to the number of elements in the @Output array. You probably want a comma, like I showed.

[hmb104]

($Core) = &connect( $Core, $user, $pass );
@Output = $Core->capture( "show ip route $IPNumber" ) or
   die( ($! >> 8) );
$DEBUG && Debug_Output( @Output );

($Core2) = &connect( $Core2, $user, $pass );
@Output2 = $Core2->capture( "show run | include hostname" ) or
   die( ($! >> 8) );
$DEBUG && Debug_Output( @Output2 );
foreach $Line ( @Output,  @Output2) {

   if ( $Line =~ m/^Routing entry for / ) {
      @Data = split( ' ', $Line );
      $Subnet = $Data[ 3 ] ;

   }
   if ( $Line2 =~ m/^hostname / ) {
      @Data2 = split( ' ', $Line2 );
      $Rname = $Data2[ 2 ] ;
      last ;
   }
}
@Subnet = split( /\./, $Subnet );
$RouterIP = join( '.', $Subnet[0], $Subnet[1], $Subnet[2], '1' );
print( " Router: [$Rname]\t  Router IP: [$RouterIP]\n" );

The loop doesn't featch my Output2 array elements. This is what I get in the command line:

bash-3.00$ ./test 10.10.10.16
 Router: []       Router IP: [10.10.10.1]

The router name is empty.

You didn't replace your code with the right version specified above. Please fix it. Also, please show the error message you get (and do it every time you ask for help, see How do I post a question effectively?).

This is the ssh sub:

sub SSHconnect {
    my $ip = shift; my $user = shift; my $pass = shift;
    my %options = (  user => $user,
                 passwd =>  $pass,
                 master_stderr_discard => 1,
                 master_opts => [
                    -o => "UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null",
                 ],
                 ssh_cmd => '/usr/local/bin/ssh'
    );
    my $ssh = Net::OpenSSH->new( $ip, %SSHOptions );
    $ssh->error and
        die( $SSH->error );
    return ($SSH);
}
