Error Help with Expect in Shell Script

Hi All,

I have a expect script which is working for single server, but if i am trying to pass value of the variable inside expect, it is not working. Please see below :-
Code:
expect -c 'spawn ssh username@ip_address ; expect assword ; send "Password1\n" ; send "uptime \n" ; send "free -m \n" ; expect "$" interact' > a.log

if i store data in a variable and pass the variable, it is not working. something like :-
Code:
server_name=`head -n $a /home/a.txt`
expect -c 'spawn ssh username@$server_name expect assword ; send "Password1\n" ; send "uptime \n" ; send "free -m \n" ; expect "$" interact' > a.log

Please help out in passing variable inside expect

Regards,
Renjesh

NAME
script-email - Amanda script to send email notifications DESCRIPTION
script-email is an Amanda script implementing the Script API. It should not be run by users directly. It sends a notification email to the addresses specified in the MAILTO property. PROPERTIES
This section lists the properties that control script-email's functionality. See amanda-scripts(7) for information on the Script API, script configuration. MAILTO List of email addresses that will receive an email on command execution. It is a multi-valued property: property "MAILTO" "amanda@domain.com" "sysadmin@domain.com" "amandauser@domain.com" EXAMPLE
In this example, script-email is scheduled to be run before the DLE, on the server. The unqualified email address amanda will be passed to the email system unchanged. The script is then attached to a dumptype, which can then be specified for any DLEs which require notification. define script-tool pre-email { comment "email me before this DLE is backed up" plugin "script-email" execute-on pre-dle-backup execute-where server property "mailto" "amanda" } define dumptype user-tar-email { user-tar script "pre-email" } SEE ALSO
