I have tried with expect , admin file but as per my understanding both requires standard input/steps to defined. Can i use expect with If loop after spawning the command
say f or ex : Spawn pkgadd "Test.pkg"
if (expect [Host Name])
then
send "HOST NAME"
Is it possible to validate the outcome of the command and input the option through shell script? Please Clarify. or Do we have any other approach to perform this?
Thanks,

Have a look at this code snippet from one of my scripts doing automating SFTP:
/usr/bin/expect <<EOF
spawn /usr/bin/sftp USERNAME@SERVER_IP
expect {
"Password: " {
send "PASSWORD\r"
}
"Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? " {
send "yes\n"
expect "Password: "
send "PASSWORD\r"
}
}
expect "sftp> "
send "cd $IMEIS \r"
expect "sftp> "
send "lcd $LOCALDIR \r"
expect "sftp> "
send "get $file \r"
expect "sftp> "
send "bye \r"
EOF
You should be able to change it to your like.
