This Expect script provides expect with a list of IP addresses to Cisco IPS sensors and commands to configure Cisco IPS sensors. The user, password, IP addresses, prompt regex, etc. have been anonymized. In general this script will log into the sensors and send commands successfully but there are... (1 Reply)

Hey all. Sometimes I'm tasked to change some router configs for the entire network (over 3,000 Cisco routers). Most of the time its a global config parameter so its done with a loop and an IP list as its the same configuration change for all routers. This is working OK.

I have a requirement where I have to SFTP or SCP a file in a batch script. Unfortunately, the destination server setup is such that it doesn't allow for shell command line login. So, I am not able to set up SSH keys. My source server is having issues with Expect. So, unable to use... (5 Replies)
I'm fairly new to scripting so this might not be possible.
I am using Expect with Cisco switches and need to capture the string after finding the expect request. For example, when I issue "show version" on a Nexus switch, I'm looking to capture the current firmware version:

send-uucp
SEND-UUCP(8) System Manager's Manual SEND-UUCP(8)NAME
send-uucp, send-nntp, send-ihave - send Usenet articles to remote site
SYNOPSIS
{ send-nntp | send-uucp | send-ihave } [ -d ] sitename:hostname | sitename [ sitename:hostname | sitename .. ]
DESCRIPTION
The send-* utilities are scripts that process the batch files written by innd(8) to send Usenet articles to a remote NNTP or UUCP site.
The sites to be fed may be specified by giving sitename hostname pairs on the command line.
The sitename is the label the site has in the newsfeeds file, the hostname is the real hostname of the remote site, a FQDN (Fully Qualified
Domain Name) in the case of an NNTP host, or the UUCP name in the case of a UUCP host. Normally, the sitename and the hostname are the
same, and as such don't have to be specified as sitename:hostname pairs but just as a sitename.
send-uucp compresses batches of news and sends the to the remote site with uux.
send-nntp Starts an innxmit to send the articles to the remote site.
send-ihave encapsulates the articles in an ihave control message and uses inews to send the articles to a to.sitename pseudo-group. Using
send-ihave is discouraged, nobody uses it anymore and even the author of this manpage is unsure as to how it actually works or used to
work.
send-* expect that the batchfile for a site is named <pathoutgoing in inn.conf>/sitename. To prevent batchfile corruption, shlock(1) is
used to ``lock'' these files.
OPTIONS -d The ``-d'' flag causes nntpsend to send output to stdout rather than the log file <pathlog in inn.conf>/<program-name>.log.
NOTES
You should probably not use send-nntp, but innfeed, or if that is not possible, nntpsend.
The usual flags in the newsfeed file to write a batch file suitable for processing by send-uucp are Tf,Wfb .
The usual flags for a batch file for send-nntp are Tf,Wfm
