I plan on building an expect script and a ksh script to acquire some information and pass to the expect script. I'm very new with expect and figured I would start off slow. However, I use the spawn telnet command, run the script, and it prints out "spawn telnet" rather than doing anything. I'm working for a company that uses expect and have scripts in place already that work using the commands I'm using. Any help is greatly appreciated...below is some information about what I'm doing/getting.
Code:
<OLD>/Testfiles# ll test1.exp
-rwxrwx--- 1 root system 58 Nov 16 10:25 test1.exp
<OLD>/Testfiles# cat test1.exp
#!/usr/local/bin/expect -f
spawn telnet [lindex $argv 0]
<OLD>/Testfiles# ./test1.exp hello
spawn telnet hello
<OLD>/Testfiles# which expect
/usr/local/bin/expect
<OLD>/Testfiles# ll /usr/local/bin/expect
-rwx------ 1 root system 288083 Oct 20 2008 /usr/local/bin/expect
<OLD>/Testfiles#

runtest(1) General Commands Manual runtest(1)NAME
runtest - DejaGnu test driver
SYNOPSIS
runtest [OPTION]...
DESCRIPTION
DejaGnu is a framework for testing programs using Expect. runtest is the driver program for DejaGnu. It controls what tests to run and
how to run them.
OPTIONS --all Output all test results. By default, only unexpected results are displayed.
--debug
Turn on expect internal debugging output. The output is logged to a file called dbg.out.
--build TRIPLET
The configuration TRIPLET for the build system.
--directory DIRECTORY
Run only tests in the specified DIRECTORY.
--help Prints out a help screen and then exits.
--host TRIPLET
The configuration TRIPLET for the host system.
--host_board NAME
The host board defintion to use.
--ignore test1.exp test2.exp ...
Do not run the specified tests.
--mail 'name1 name2 ...'
Electronic mail addresses to receive test results.
--name HOSTNAME
The network HOSTNAME of the target board.
--objdir PATH
PATH is a directory containing compiled test code.
--outdir DIRECTORY
The name of a DIRECTORY for test log output.
--reboot
Reboot the target board when runtest initializes (if supported).
--srcdir PATH
PATH is a directory containing test directories.
--status
Set the exit status to fail on Tcl errors.
--strace N
Turns on expect internal tracing to N levels deep. The output is logged to a file called dbg.out.
--target TRIPLET
The configuration TRIPLET for the target.
--target_board NAME
A list of target board NAMEs to run tests on.
--tool TOOLNAME
Specify the tool to be tested. TOOLNAME controls the test suite applied, and the associated initialization module.
--tool_exec PATH
Specify the PATH to the executable to test.
--tool_opts OPTIONS
Additional OPTIONS to pass to the tool.
--verbose, -v
Turns on more debugging output from test cases and DejaGnu utility code. Use more than once to increase output further.
--version, -V
Prints out the versions of DejaGnu, Expect and Tcl.
--xml, -x
Generate XML output.
-D[number]
Activate the Tcl debugger. number can be either 1 or 0. If it is 1, then the expect shell will break when it starts to run. The
interrupt key will cause DejaGnu to drop to the debugger prompt. If it is 0, DejaGnu starts as usual, but a ^C drops to the debugger
prompt.
Any file name on the command line is assumed to be a subset of the
test names to run. Usually these are the names of the test scripts (eg. foo.exp).
Makefile-style variables are used to specify tool names and their flags; these and other configuration dependent values are saved in the
file site.exp, created during configuration.
EXIT CODES
runtest sets the exit code to 1 if any of the tests failed, or sets it to 0 if all the tests passed.
