I have an Expect script I've re-purposed from another process, and I would like to add in an IF THEN ELSE condition. I would greatly appreciate some help with the syntax.
The purpose of the script is to send a file to an FTP site. It works as it is right now (as in, the script actually does FTP the file over), it's just that occasionally the FTP site will reject my connection. It's totally intermittent, and I'm working with the company to get them to fix their damn FTP site ... but you know how it is. It MUST be something on my end.
Anyway, my goal is to get them to fix their FTP site or to migrate me to another one, but in the interim, and because it's good coding anyway, I'd like to add an IF ELSE THEN to my script. IF the FTP site returns a "Connection Refused", THEN try again, ELSE use my current code. Basically I'd like to keep trying until it works or fails 5 times kinda thing.
**CURRENT SCRIPT THAT WORKS TO SEND THE FILE (unless there is a connection error):**
Here is the error I get if the connection is refused ...
Code:
spawn sftp xxx@pretendftp.site
Connecting to pretendftp.site...
ssh: connect to host pretendftp.site port 22: Connection refused
Couldn't read packet: Connection reset by peer
send: spawn id exp3 not open
while executing
"send "pretendpassword\r""
And out of interest, the message I get when the transfer is successful ...
Code:
spawn sftp xxx@pretendftp.site.
Connecting to pretendftp.site....
xxx@pretendftp.site.'s password:
sftp> cd /import/nonCC/data
sftp> put <PeopleSoft directory here>/division__20191025.txt
Uploading <PeopleSoft directory here>/division__20191025.txt to /import/nonCC/data/division__20191025.txt
<PeopleSoft directory here>/log_ou 0% 0 0.0KB/s --:-- ETA
<PeopleSoft directory here>/log_ou 100% 11KB 11.2KB/s 00:00
Anyway, I would greatly appreciate help with the script to capture the connection refused error in order to try again.
Hello to all...this is my first post (so please go easy). :)
I feel pretty solid at expect scripting, but I'm running into an issue that I'm not able to wrap my head around. I wrote a script that is a little advanced for logging into a remote Linux machine and changing text in a file using sed.... (2 Replies)
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.
However, sometimes an... (3 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:
