Thanks for the reply. Sorry i should have been more specific.

This is an expect script which internally calls another expect script to reset password on multiple servers by passing userid , oldpass , server name and newpassword.

Code:
#
!/dvlp/bin/expect
package require cgi

................................
......................
......................

                exec /dbase/mesa/bin/passwd_reset  $login "$oldpass"  server1 "$newpassword" > /tmp/passwd_reset_out$login 2>&1
                sleep 1
                exec  /dbase/mesa/bin/passwd_reset  $login "$oldpass" server2  "$newpassword" >> /tmp/passwd_reset_out$login 2>&1
                sleep 1
                exec  /dbase/mesa/bin/passwd_reset  $login "$oldpass" server3  "$newpassword" >> /tmp/passwd_reset_out$login 2>&1
                set out "grep -i 'password changed' /tmp/passwd_reset_out$login | wc -l"
               send_user "$out"


Below is the passwd_reset which gets called from the previous script


Code:
#!/usr/bin/expect -f

set username [lindex $argv 0]
set password [lindex $argv 1]
set serverid [lindex $argv 2]
set newpassword [lindex $argv 3]

spawn ssh -q -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no $username@$serverid
expect "assword:"
send "$password\r"
expect  ">"
send "passwd\r"
expect "Old Password:"
send "$password\r"
expect "New password:"
send "$newpassword\r"
expect "Retype new password:"
send "$newpassword\r"
expect "password changed."
send "exit"
