Expect Question
Have an expect script but can't seem to de-bug it. It's stalling at the password prompt. If anyone can see a mistake, kindly let me know. Thanks.
Here is the error:
Code:
 spawn ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no user@xx.xx.xx.xx rpm -qa

# Warning! You have entered into a secured area! #
# All activities on this system are logged.      #

user@xx.xx.xx.xx's password:
send: spawn id exp4 not open
    while executing
"send "!\r""

Here is my expect script:
Code:
#!/bin/bash

   expect -c "
spawn ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no user@xx.xx.xx.xx rpm -qa
expect \"word:\"
send \"xxxx\r\"
expect \"$\" 
send \"!\r\"
"
