Hi;
Thanks for replying, sorry for my delayed response.
Code:
cat test.sh
#!/bin/bash
expect -c "
set multilinetext 'first one two
second one two three
third one
fourth one two three four
fifth one two'
;"
Error:
./test.sh
wrong # args: should be "set varName ?newValue?"
while executing
"set multilinetext 'first one two"
It looks that the "-c" commands calling parameter in bash, can create number of different errors.
I am now trying to separate all Expect from Bash - Expect dedicated files called from main bash files.
It seems to have lots of benefits, also some drawbacks.
Moderator's Comments:
Please wrap all code, files, input & output/errors in CODE tags for clarity.
It also preserves spaces for indenting or fixed-width data.

Hello all,
The following script (sess.sh) runs fine and gives the correct output on a SunOS 5.9 ( default shell =/bin/ksh) but gives incorrect results on a SunOS 5.7 (default shell= /bin/sh). The script logs on to an oracle database and queries the total no of sessions running in the database... (6 Replies)

Hi All,
Using Expect script when I run it manually it works. But when I put the entry in crontab, the job is still running after 15 hours. The script was created as root. I don't think it's a permission issue. Any idea?

I have a really basic expect script which I call from php. I works fine when I run the php from the shell, but from the web it appears as if the output buffer gets chopped and never gets all of the contents.

Greetings, I have a C-program that is made to implement a hidden Markov model on an input file. The program is very memory intensive.

I'm having a problem scripting Expect to work as a Nagios check. The script runs fine from the cli, but not when run as a Nagios check. I turn on the debug output, and it looks like it's not seeing the whole buffer's worth of info, like it's paged interactively somehow. I'm new to Expect, but this... (1 Reply)
