Operating Systems AIX problem with expect eof Post 302134752 by sysgate on Monday 3rd of September 2007 09:54:05 AM

Basically, your script seems correct, but I have no expect installed on AIX currently, so I can test it. Um, which version of expect is used ? What is the location of stty ? I have it under /usr/bin/stty, do a "which stty" and you can try to edit the $PATH and test again ?

I would wrote your script like :

Code:
#!/usr/local/bin/expect

spawn passwd exptest
set password some-pass
expect "*password:*"
sleep 1
send "$password\r"
expect "*password again:*"
sleep 1
send "$password\r"
expect eof

NAME
viewsu - change (virtual) user ID or become (virtual) superuser SYNOPSIS
viewsu [options] [username] DESCRIPTION
The viewsu command is used to become another user during a login session. Invoked without a username, viewsu defaults to becoming the supe- ruser. The optional argument - may be used to provide an environment similar to what the user would expect had the user logged in directly. This command is the View-OS counterpart of the su(1) command. The value of $PATH is reset to /bin:/usr/bin for normal users, or /sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin for the superuser. This may be changed with the ENV_PATH and ENV_SUPATH definitions in /etc/login.defs. OPTIONS
The options which apply to the viewsu command are: -c, --command COMMAND Specify a command that will be invoked by the shell using its -c. -, -l, --login Provide an environment similar to what the user would expect had the user logged in directly. When - is used, it must be specified as the last viewsu option. The other forms (-l and --login) do not have this restriction. -s, --shell SHELL The shell that will be invoked. The invoked shell is chosen from (highest priority first): o The shell specified with --shell. o The shell indicated in the /etc/passwd entry for the target user. o /bin/sh if a shell could not be found by any above method.
