Expect Script Error invalid spawn id (6)
Hi everybody,
We are trying to connect to a server and to a router using an .expect script that automatically authenticate the username and password needed. The error is that we cannot connect to the server using ssh AND we cannot connect to the router using either telnet or go commands from the .expect script.
However, when trying the same commands from the Unix shell the both connections to the server and router are established without problem.
Here is the error message we received:
expect: invalid spawn id (6)
thanks a lot

Good Day Everyone,
I was hoping to get a little insight into an expect script that I've written.
Basically we have this expect script to perform an sftp upload, key authentication is not an option, and sftp is the only method supported by our vendor, thus the need for this.
I want to be... (3 Replies)

test::expect
Test::Expect(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Test::Expect(3pm)
NAME
Test::Expect - Automated driving and testing of terminal-based programs
SYNOPSIS
# in a t/*.t file:
use Test::Expect;
use Test::More tests => 13;
expect_run(
command => "perl testme.pl",
prompt => 'testme: ',
quit => 'quit',
);
expect("ping", "pong", "expect");
expect_send("ping", "expect_send");
expect_is("* Hi there, to testme", "expect_is");
expect_like(qr/Hi there, to testme/, "expect_like");
DESCRIPTION
Test::Expect is a module for automated driving and testing of terminal-based programs. It is handy for testing interactive programs which
have a prompt, and is based on the same concepts as the Tcl Expect tool. As in Expect::Simple, the Expect object is made available for
tweaking.
Test::Expect is intended for use in a test script.
SUBROUTINES
expect_run
The expect_run subroutine sets up Test::Expect. You must pass in the interactive program to run, what the prompt of the program is, and
which command quits the program:
expect_run(
command => "perl testme.pl",
prompt => 'testme: ',
quit => 'quit',
);
expect
The expect subroutine is the catch all subroutine. You pass in the command, the expected output of the subroutine and an optional comment.
expect("ping", "pong", "expect");
expect_send
The expect_send subroutine sends a command to the program. You pass in the command and an optional comment.
expect_send("ping", "expect_send");
expect_is
The expect_is subroutine tests the output of the program like Test::More's is. It has an optional comment:
expect_is("* Hi there, to testme", "expect_is");
expect_like
The expect_like subroutine tests the output of the program like Test::More's like. It has an optional comment:
expect_like(qr/Hi there, to testme/, "expect_like");
expect_handle
This returns the Expect object.
expect_quit
Closes the Expect handle.
