Im executing the remote script and checking return status of the script but if I do in the following way its returning the status of the password but not the status of the called script.How can I get the return status of the called script. Please help thanks in advance.
#!/usr/bin/expect
proc auto { } {
global argv
set timeout 120
set ip XXXX.XXX.XX.XX
set user name
set password pass
set ssh_opts {-o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no}
set script /path-to-script/test.sh
spawn ssh {*}$ssh_opts $user#$ip bash $script {*}$argv
expect "Password:"
send "$password\r"
send "echo $?\r"
expect {
"0\r" { puts "Test passed."; }
timeout { puts "Test failed."; }
}
expect eof
}
auto {*}$argv
You're automating ssh bash remote_script, so you're not going to get a shell prompt where you can echo $? -- ssh will launch your script and then exit.
What you need to do is get the exit status of the spawned process (ssh is supposed to exit with the remote command's exit status). expect's wait command gets you the exit status (among other info)
spawn ssh {*}$ssh_opts $user#$ip bash $script {*}$argv
expect {
"Password:" { send "$password\r"; exp_continue }
timeout { puts "Test failed." }
eof
}
# ssh command is now finished
exp_close
set info [wait]
# [lindex $info 0] is the PID of the ssh process
# [lindex $info 1] is the spawn id
# [lindex $info 2] is the success/failure indicator
if {[lindex $info 2] == 0} {
puts "exit status = [lindex $info 3]"
} else {
puts "error code = [lindex $info 3]"
}

I have a bash expect script like this, that I use for some operations on Jamf:
spawn firmwarepasswd -setpasswd
expect {
"Enter password:" {
send "$oldpass\r"
exp_continue
}
"Enter new password:" {
send "$newpass\r"
exp_continue
}
"Re-enter new password:" {
send "$newpass\r"
exp_continue
}
}
If the password fails, the script will not exit and jamf will keep trying to execute it. How can I get it to return and exit when the password is wrong?
I don't know Jamf, but I do have a little example for you:
function _cmd {
local cmd="${#?No command?}"
echo -ne "Testing $cmd\t: "
expect 2>&1 <<-EOF
set timeout -1
spawn ${cmd}
expect eof
catch wait result
exit [lindex \$result 3]
EOF
echo $?
}
function _ssh {
local status="${#?No command?}"
read -sp "remote password? " remote_pass
echo -ne "\nTesting ssh\t: "
expect 2>&1 <<-EOF
set timeout -1
spawn ssh $USER#127.0.0.1
expect {
"yes/no" { send "yes\r"; exp_continue }
"*password: " { send "${remote_pass}\r" }
}
expect "*#" { send "exit $status\r" }
expect eof
catch wait result
exit [lindex \$result 3]
EOF
echo $?
}
_cmd false
_cmd true
_ssh 3
exit 0
The last part after expect eof makes sure that the exit status is shared. The _ssh command will exit with status 3.
I'm trying to create an expect script to perform and scp command to copy a given file to a remote machine.
If I run the following script, the scp command fails.
#!/usr/bin/expect -f
set ip_addr [lindex $argv 0]
set in_fname [lindex $argv 1]
set out_fname [lindex $argv 2]
set user [lindex $argv 3]
set password [lindex $argv 4]
set timeout 2
if {[llength $argv] != 5} {
send_user "Usage: ./scp_copy.sh <ip_address> <in_fname> <out_fname> <user> <password>\n"
exit 1
}
spawn scp $in_fname $user#$ip_addr:$out_fname
expect {
(yes/no) {send "yes\r"}
timeout
}
expect {
timeout
{
send_user "FAILED TO PERFORM SCP CMD.\n";
exit 1
}
password:
{
send "$password\r"
}
eof
}
... however, if I remove the 'eof' at the end of the second expect clause and instead create a new expect clause at the end, the scp command works.
expect eof
Please can someone explain this. I'm completely new to expect (and bash) scripts and would be grateful for a simple explanation that helps me understand.
What does 'expect eof' do exactly? Does eof indicate that the spawned process has complete? If so, should I introduce another timeout e.g.
expect {
timeout { exit }
eof
}
What is the difference between the eof being inside the second expect clause and it's own separate expect clause? I was expecting the same effect.
Do I need to call 'close' at the end of an expect script?
Thanks.
I am writing an Expect script that remotes to a server "server2" and executes fileexists.sh that will find if file exists at a particular location.
Bash script - fileexists.sh is as follows:
#!/bin/bash
if [ -s $1 ]; then
echo "non empty file exists."
else
echo "File doesnot exist or is empty."
Expect script - expec is as follows:
#!/usr/bin/expect
set username [lindex $argv 0]
set password [lindex $argv 1]
set hostname [lindex $argv 2]
set rfile [lindex $argv 3]
set prompt "$username* ~]$ "
spawn ssh -q -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no $username#$hostname
expect {
timeout {
puts "\n\nConnection timed out"
exit 1
}
"*assword:" {
send "$password\r"
}
}
expect {
"$prompt" {
puts "Logged in successfully.
}
}
spawn ./fileexists.sh $rfile
set lineterminationChar "\r"
expect {
$lineterminationChar { append output $expect_out(buffer);exp_continue}
eof { append output $expect_out(buffer)}
}
puts $output
When i call the expect script with ./expec user pass server2 /apps/bin/file.p I get output as "File doesnot exist or is empty." although the file exists at its location on server2.
i checked using expect:
if {[file exists $rfile]} { puts "file exists" }
And output i get is "file exists".
Seems to be something with spawn that I am unable to figure out.
To check on the remote host, do this (I assume you are logging in to a linux machine, or a machine with GNU stat): untested
send -- "stat -c '%s' '$rfile'\r"
expect {
-re {\r\n(\d+)\r\n} {
puts "$rfile exists with size $expect_out(1,string)"
}
-gl {*No such file or directory*} {
puts "$rfile does not exist"
}
}
send "exit\r"
expect eof
In expect script im doing ssh and invoking a bash script which returns a value.How do I get the return value of shell script in expect script? Wait will return status of the Spawn but I want retrun value of the shell script. Thanks in advance.
#!/usr/bin/expect
proc auto { } {
global argv
set timeout 120
set ip XXXX.XXX.XX.XX
set user name
set password pass
set ssh_opts {-o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no}
set script /path-to-script/test.sh
spawn ssh {*}$ssh_opts $user#$ip sudo bash $script {*}$argv
expect {
"Password:" { send "$password\r"; exp_continue }
timeout { puts "Test failed." }
eof
}
# ssh command is now finished
exp_close
set info [wait]
# [lindex $info 0] is the PID of the ssh process
# [lindex $info 1] is the spawn id
# [lindex $info 2] is the success/failure indicator
if {[lindex $info 2] == 0} {
puts "exit status = [lindex $info 3]"
}
}
auto {*}$argv
I would like the following expect script to set a variable in the main bash script. In other words I would like to set $SSH_SUCCESS to a pass/fail string. I have tried using $expect_out and $::env(SSH_SUCCESS) but have been unsuccessful. How do I set a bash variable from expect?
expect << EOF
log_user 0
log_file $TEST_LOG
set timeout 5
spawn ssh root#$RADIO_IP
.....
....expect script, echoing the return of an SSH command...
send "echo\$?\n"
expect {
"0" {
send_user "SSH test: PASSED\r"
SSH_SUCCESS="PASSED"
}
"1" {
send_user "SSH test: FAILED\r"
SSH_SUCCESS="FAILED"
}
sleep 1
send_user "\n"
exit
EOF
echo $SSH_SUCCESS
I don't know Expect, but I think it's something like this
SSH_SUCCESS=$(expect <<EOF
...
expect {
"0" {
puts "PASSED"
}
"1" {
puts "FAILED"
}
...
EOF
)
echo $SSH_SUCCESS
There is no way to set a variable.
This is another way to determine the exit status of Expect.
expect << EOF
log_user 0
log_file $TEST_LOG
set timeout 5
spawn ssh root#$RADIO_IP
.....
....expect script, echoing the return of an SSH command...
send "echo\$?\n"
expect -re "\[0-9\]+$"
#set latest command exit status to valiable "exit_code"
set exit_status \$expect_out(0,string)
if { \$exit_status == 0 } {
send_user "SSH test: PASSED\r"
} else {
send_user "SSH test: FAILED\r"
}
sleep 1
send_user "\n"
# exit expect as latest command exit status
exit \$exit_status
EOF
if [ $? -eq 0 ];then
SSH_SUCCESS="PASSED"
else
SSH_SUCCESS="FAILED"
fi
echo ${SSH_SUCCESS}
