Since you are driving the interaction remotely and possibly dealing with multiple logins concurrently the way I'd do this is to use an interact for each spawn_id (after successful setup) with a procedure that periodically polls the remote filesystem, makes the necessary changes and informs you of completion or error.
Here is a basic example from some code I wrote several years ago. You may want to check the interact examples out at the expect site and at active state.
I have a shell script that runs all the time looking for a certain type of file and then it processes the file through a series of other scripts. The script is watching a directory that has files uploaded to it via SFTP. It already checks the size of the file to make sure that it is not still... (3 Replies)
I need a script that will check for the existence of new files that FTP'd in the morning, results go to log file. The 2nd step is to compare the new file with the previous days file. If the new file size is 30% or more smaller in size then previous day this needs to also be sent to log.

Hi,
I have an expect script that logs into a host (via ssh) requests the hostid then exits... I am happy with that.
However how can I run the same script in a kind of 'while read line' and enter lots of hosts? My knowledge is still very limited (as you will soon see) so any other ideas would... (2 Replies)
Hello to all...this is my first post (so please go easy). :)
I feel pretty solid at expect scripting, but I'm running into an issue that I'm not able to wrap my head around. I wrote a script that is a little advanced for logging into a remote Linux machine and changing text in a file using sed.... (2 Replies)

This Expect script provides expect with a list of IP addresses to Cisco IPS sensors and commands to configure Cisco IPS sensors. The user, password, IP addresses, prompt regex, etc. have been anonymized. In general this script will log into the sensors and send commands successfully but there are... (1 Reply)

I'm fairly new to scripting so this might not be possible.
I am using Expect with Cisco switches and need to capture the string after finding the expect request. For example, when I issue "show version" on a Nexus switch, I'm looking to capture the current firmware version:
#show version

ct_ftp
ct_ftp(3erl) Erlang Module Definition ct_ftp(3erl)NAME
ct_ftp - FTP client module (based on the FTP support of the INETS application).
DESCRIPTION
FTP client module (based on the FTP support of the INETS application).
DATA TYPES
connection() = handle() | target_name() (see module ct) :
handle() = handle() (see module ct_gen_conn) :
Handle for a specific ftp connection.
EXPORTS
cd(Connection, Dir) -> ok | {error, Reason}
Types Connection = connection()
Dir = string()
Change directory on remote host.
close(Connection) -> ok | {error, Reason}
Types Connection = connection()
Close the FTP connection.
delete(Connection, File) -> ok | {error, Reason}
Types Connection = connection()
File = string()
Delete a file on remote host
get(KeyOrName, RemoteFile, LocalFile) -> ok | {error, Reason}
Types KeyOrName = Key | Name
Key = atom()
Name = target_name() (see module ct)
RemoteFile = string()
LocalFile = string()
Open a ftp connection and fetch a file from the remote host.
RemoteFile and LocalFile must be absolute paths.
The config file must be as for put/3.
See also: put/3 .
ls(Connection, Dir) -> {ok, Listing} | {error, Reason}
Types Connection = connection()
Dir = string()
Listing = string()
List the directory Dir.
open(KeyOrName) -> {ok, Handle} | {error, Reason}
Types KeyOrName = Key | Name
Key = atom()
Name = target_name() (see module ct)
Handle = handle()
Open an FTP connection to the specified node.
You can open one connection for a particular Name and use the same name as reference for all subsequent operations. If you want the
connection to be associated with Handle instead (in case you need to open multiple connections to a host for example), simply use
Key , the configuration variable name, to specify the target. Note that a connection that has no associated target name can only be
closed with the handle value.
put(KeyOrName, LocalFile, RemoteFile) -> ok | {error, Reason}
Types KeyOrName = Key | Name
Key = atom()
Name = target_name() (see module ct)
LocalFile = string()
RemoteFile = string()
Open a ftp connection and send a file to the remote host.
LocalFile and RemoteFile must be absolute paths.
If the target host is a "special" node, the ftp address must be specified in the config file like this:
{node,[{ftp,IpAddr}]}.
If the target host is something else, e.g. a unix host, the config file must also include the username and password (both strings):
{unix,[{ftp,IpAddr},
{username,Username},
{password,Password}]}.
recv(Connection, RemoteFile) -> ok | {error, Reason}
Fetch a file over FTP.
The file will get the same name on the local host.
See also: recv/3 .
recv(Connection, RemoteFile, LocalFile) -> ok | {error, Reason}
Types Connection = connection()
RemoteFile = string()
LocalFile = string()
Fetch a file over FTP.
The file will be named LocalFile on the local host.
send(Connection, LocalFile) -> ok | {error, Reason}
Send a file over FTP.
The file will get the same name on the remote host.
See also: send/3 .
send(Connection, LocalFile, RemoteFile) -> ok | {error, Reason}
Types Connection = connection()
LocalFile = string()
RemoteFile = string()
Send a file over FTP.
The file will be named RemoteFile on the remote host.
type(Connection, Type) -> ok | {error, Reason}
Types Connection = connection()
Type = ascii | binary
Change file transfer type
