Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting expect script pushing ssh keys w/ tar extract Post 302609951 by Corona688 on Tuesday 20th of March 2012 03:54:17 PM

I don't think expect is really a proper shell, so doesn't do redirections like that.

You can always just run a proper shell to do it for you. I'm not 100% sure I have the quotes the way expect wants them, but you'd do something like this:
Code:
spawn sh -c "ssh -q targethost 'tar xf -' </path/to/sshcfg.tar"

NAME
times - shell built-in function to report time usages of the current shell SYNOPSIS
sh times ksh times DESCRIPTION
sh Print the accumulated user and system times for processes run from the shell. ksh Print the accumulated user and system times for the shell and for processes run from the shell. On this man page, ksh(1) commands that are preceded by one or two * (asterisks) are treated specially in the following ways: 1. Variable assignment lists preceding the command remain in effect when the command completes. 2. I/O redirections are processed after variable assignments. 3. Errors cause a script that contains them to abort. 4. Words, following a command preceded by ** that are in the format of a variable assignment, are expanded with the same rules as a vari- able assignment. This means that tilde substitution is performed after the = sign and word splitting and file name generation are not performed. ATTRIBUTES
