ok, now the script is followng

Code:

#!/usr/local/bin/expect -d

set timeout -1
set password 123
spawn passwd exptest
expect "*password:*"
sleep 1
send "$password\r"
expect "*password again:*"
sleep 1
send "$password\r"
expect eof

and again i cant control the shell

here is debug output, looks fine as for me :-)

Code:

# ./expp
expect version 5.43.0
argv[0] = /usr/local/bin/expect  argv[1] = -d  argv[2] = ./expp
set argc 0
set argv0 "./expp"
set argv ""
executing commands from command file ./expp
spawn passwd exptest
parent: waiting for sync byte
parent: telling child to go ahead
parent: now unsynchronized from child
spawn: returns {17710}

expect: does "" (spawn_id exp4) match glob pattern "*password:*"? no
Changing password for "exptest"
exptest's New password:
expect: does "Changing password for "exptest"\r\nexptest's New password: " (spawn_id exp4) match glob pattern "*password:*"? yes
expect: set expect_out(0,string) "Changing password for "exptest"\r\nexptest's New password: "
expect: set expect_out(spawn_id) "exp4"
expect: set expect_out(buffer) "Changing password for "exptest"\r\nexptest's New password: "
send: sending "123\r" to { exp4 }

expect: does "" (spawn_id exp4) match glob pattern "*password again:*"? no

Enter the new pa
expect: does "\r\nEnter the new pa" (spawn_id exp4) match glob pattern "*password again:*"? no
ssword again:
expect: does "\r\nEnter the new password again:" (spawn_id exp4) match glob pattern "*password again:*"? yes
expect: set expect_out(0,string) "\r\nEnter the new password again:"
expect: set expect_out(spawn_id) "exp4"
expect: set expect_out(buffer) "\r\nEnter the new password again:"
send: sending "123\r" to { exp4 }

expect: read eof
expect: set expect_out(spawn_id) "exp4"
expect: set expect_out(buffer) "\r\n"

maybe something wrong with my AIX...

vipw

VIPW(8) 						      System Manager's Manual							   VIPW(8)

NAME

       vipw - edit the password file

SYNOPSIS

       vipw

DESCRIPTION

       Vipw  edits  the  password file while setting the appropriate locks, and does any necessary processing after the password file is unlocked.
       If the password file is already being edited, then you will be told to try again later.	The vi editor will be used unless the  environment
       variable EDITOR indicates an alternate editor.

       Vipw  performs  a  number  of consistency checks on the password entries, and will not allow a password file with a ``mangled'' entry to be
       installed.  If vipw rejects the new password file, the user is prompted to re-enter the edit session.

       Once the information has been verified, vipw uses mkpasswd(8) to update the user database.  This is run in the  background,  and,  at  very
       large  sites  could  take  several minutes.  Until this update is completed, the password file is unavailable for other updates and the new
       information will not be available to programs.
