I'm trying to come up with a simple expect script that allows me to login to a system and run a single command ... something like this:
The problem I have is that the output from a single show command overflows, the display screen is followed by the --More-- prompt. At the --More-- prompt, you have these options:
- Press Ctrl+C, q, or Q to interrupt the output and return to the command prompt.
- Press the spacebar to display an additional screen of output.
- Press Enter to display one more line of output.
What I want at the end is to record all the output from the show command but my script is timing out at the first --More-- prompt. How can I make the script to send new line characters (i.e. spacebar) everytime it gets the --More-- prompt?
How can I write to another user's pseudo tty, but not to its current prompt position (as in open("/dev/pts007", ...) followed by write() ). Instead I would like to write to the top center of the screen using color red, for example. Like curses, but from another console. (6 Replies)
I'm using expect script, but don't know how to assign an output to a string variable. Any help ?
Thank you for reading!
