Automatic disconnect telnet in bash scripting - bash

When i run the script below, it connects the server but it disconnect before sending a command. How can i solve this problem.
#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/expect << EOD
spawn telnet 31.168.109.31
sleep 2
expect ">"
sleep 1
send "my_password"
send "\n"
sleep 1
interact

As per your code you expect > before password. I am not getting you what is purpose of it but as for some example script look here. It's might be not an answer but probably help you.
#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/expect << EOD
set timeout 200
spawn telnet 31.168.109.31
expect "login:"
send "root\r"
expect "password"
send "mypassword\r"
expect "root#"
#rest of your logic what you want.

Expect script to configure PDU

I need a script to configure PDU (power distribution unit). The script will be called from another program. I created Expect script that gets parameters, connects to PDU by ssh and runs the command. The short commands, such as 'pwd' or 'lang' works correctly, but the long commands stuck waiting for user interaction. If I do nothing, the connection is closed after timeout, if I press Enter, the script continue and pass.
There is a script:
spawn ssh $user#$pdu
interact -o -nobuffer "assword:" return
send "$password\r"
interact -o -nobuffer "apc>" return
send "olStatus $host\r"
interact -o -nobuffer "apc>" return
Running it with debug flag gave the following output
apc>tty_set: raw = 0, echo = 1
send: sending "olStatus machine-123456\r" to { exp4 }
defining key apc>, action return
tty_raw_noecho: was raw = 0 echo = 1
spawn id exp4 sent <olStatus machine-123>
olStatus machine-123spawn id exp0 sent <\r>
spawn id exp4 sent <456\r\n23: machine-123456: On \r\nE000: Success\r\n\r\napc>\r\napc>>
456
23: machine-123456: On
E000: Success
Here I added the comments
How can I solve the problem?
This is what I'd suggest:
spawn ssh $user#$pdu
expect "assword:"
send "$password\r"
expect -re {apc>$}
send "olStatus $host\r"
expect -re {apc>$}
send "exit\r" # or "quit" or whatever
expect eof
But run it with debug enabled and let me know what you get.
Thanks to #GlennJackman
I ran autoexpect and this help me to understand how to solve the issue. Maybe it is a my system problem, but currently it is not matter.
What needed to be done was to send in two steps
send "olStatus "
expect "olStatus"
send "machine-123456\r"
expect -re {apc>$}

Why '\n'('\r') does not work in my expect script

I want to input y+enter to reply the question while executing copy tftp:something.
The script will send y, but \n does not work. It will stay (y/n)y and keep there without exiting or doing something else. I have tried \r, and the result was the same. Does anyone know the reason?
#!bin/bash
expect -c "
set timeout -1
spawn telnet x.x.x.x
expect \"username\"
send \"user\n\"
expect \"password\"
send \"pw\n\"
expect \"model\"
send \"copy tftp:something\n\"
expect \"(y/n)\"
send \"y\n\"
expect eof
"
exit 0
I prefer using \r to "hit enter".
Second, your entire bash script is expect, so remove the outer bash layer.
#!/usr/bin/expect -f
set timeout -1
spawn telnet x.x.x.x
expect "username"
send "user\r"
expect "password"
send "pw\r"
expect "model"
send "copy tftp:something\r"
expect "(y/n)"
send "y\r"
expect eof
If you have more logic in the bash part, to avoid quoting hell use a heredoc:
#!/bin/bash
expect <<'END_EXPECT'
set timeout -1
spawn telnet x.x.x.x
expect "username"
send "user\r"
expect "password"
send "pw\r"
expect "model"
send "copy tftp:something\r"
expect "(y/n)"
send "y\r"
expect eof
END_EXPECT
exit 0

How to save output expect in bash

I am trying to make a script to save a output of the command show version in cisco.
I need made a connection to one server for that the ssh connection, and then i have connection with the device.
In the file out.txt, I have the output of the first connection, the ssh connection, but i dont know how to save the output of the show version
#!/usr/bin/expect -f
#!/bin/sh
spawn ssh -l user x.x.x.x
expect "login as:"
expect "password:"
send "password\r"
expect "$\r"
send "telnet nemonic\r"
expect "$\r"
expect "login:"
send "user\r"
expect "password:"
send "password\r"
expect "*>"
send "terminal length 0\r"
send "show version \r"
expect "*>"
set results $expect_out(buffer)
set config [open out.txt w]
puts $config $results
close $config
send "exit\r"
expect eof
send "\r"
send "exit\r"
Could you help me?
Best regards
I solve with
log_file -noappend status.txt
after the command show version
Thank you && Best Regards

How to automate the process with expect tool?

I want to automate a process with expect :
1.login with a common user in ssh
2.su to root
3.make diretory /home/test
set user xxxx
set host yyyy
set password1 pass1
set password2 pass2
set timeout 60
spawn ssh $user#$host
expect "*assword:*"
send "$password1\r"
spawn su
expect "*assword:*"
send "$password2\r"
send "mkdir /home/test"
close
How to fix the codes to automate my process?
Basically, expect will work with two feasible commands such as send and expect. In this case, if send is used, then it is mandatory to have expect (in most of the cases) afterwards. (while the vice-versa is not required to be mandatory)
This is because without that we will be missing out what is happening in the spawned process as expect will assume that you simply need to send one string value and not expecting anything else from the session, making the script exits and causing the failure.
Apart from the commands being missed, I see one issue with su command. I hope your intention is to create directory with su command execution in the remote host, not in local. So, assuming that, you just have to send the command as su to the server. Your current code will spawn su in the local machine.
#!/usr/bin/expect
set host xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
set user dinesh
set loginpwd welcome
set adminpwd root
set timeout 60
set prompt "#|>|\\\$"; # We escaped the `$` symbol with backslash to match literal '$'
spawn ssh $user#$host
expect -nocase "password:"
send "$loginpwd\r"
expect -re $prompt
send "su\r"
expect -nocase "password:"
send "$adminpwd\r"
expect -re $prompt
send "mkdir /home/test\r"
expect -re $prompt
send "logout\r"
expect eof
eof will wait for the closure of the ssh session.

bash script which downloads a file with sftp

I need to make a sftp connection with a password and download a file. There is an ip restriction so first of all i should make a ssh connection. I wrote a script but it stucks after connecting with ssh.
Note: i also tried doing it with an expect script but it also didn't work.
#!/usr/local/bin/
ssh test#test1.t.com
lftp sftp://test2:123456#test2.com
get "file.xls"
Edit: You can also see my expect code here.
#!/usr/local/bin/expect -f
expect -c "
spawn ssh test#test1.t.com
expect \"test\#test1\:\~\$\"
spawn sftp test2#test2.com
expect \"*assword:\"
send \"123456\r\"
expect \"sftp\>\"
send \"get file.xls\r\"
expect \"sftp\>\"
exit 1
";
I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to accomplish here. First, I'll address the problems in your expect script. Since your shebang line invokes expect, you don't need to wrap the expect body in a call to expect. That gets rid of all the backslashes. Next, you have 2 spawn calls, which raises questions about you're intent. I'm going to assume that you want to ssh to test1, then grab the file from test2 so the file exists on test1. This assumption changes the 2nd spawn to a plain send command.
#!/usr/local/bin/expect -f
set shell_prompt "test#test1:~$"
set sftp_prompt "sftp>"
spawn ssh test#test1
expect $shell_prompt
send "sftp test2#test2\r"
expect "*assword:"
send "123456\r"
expect $sftp_prompt
send "get file.xls\r"
expect $sftp_prompt
send "exit\r"
expect $shell_prompt
send "exit\r"
expect eof
Now, you can scp the file to your local machine. Let's put those 2 steps into one shell script:
#!/bin/sh
expect <<'EXPECT_SCRIPT'
set shell_prompt "test#test1:~$"
set sftp_prompt "sftp>"
spawn ssh test#test1
expect $shell_prompt
send "sftp test2#test2\r"
expect "*assword:"
send "123456\r"
expect $sftp_prompt
send "get file.xls\r"
expect $sftp_prompt
send "exit\r"
expect $shell_prompt
send "exit\r"
expect eof
EXPECT_SCRIPT
scp test#test1:file.xls .
