Shell Programming and Scripting

I am writing a script to check whether the root password is set to a special string on some solaris servers.

Normally, the manually ssh login session is as below:

$ ssh root@host1
Password:
Last login: Wed Sep 16 13:53:28 2009 from 10.1.102.13
Sun Microsystems Inc. SunOS 5.10 Generic January 2005
#

But the script hangs with below message:

$ ./ssh_check.exp
spawn ssh root@10.1.102.13
The authenticity of host '10.1.102.13 (10.1.102.13)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is ae:f9:36:bc:dc:b9:33:4d:72:a2:d7:fb:87:c7:e4:fc.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
Warning: Permanently added '10.1.102.13' (RSA) to the list of known hosts.
Password:
Last login: Tue Sep 15 18:40:29 2009 from 10.1.102.13

but it seems that the program keeps wiat the "#". But due to some reason, the sign just won't come out...

Below is the code of my script:

#!/bin/expect --

set user "root"
set password "xxxx"
set dead_list ""
set missed_list ""
set timeout 15
set missed 0
set dead 1
set done 1

set server_list {"host1", "host2"}

foreach server $server_list {
spawn ssh $user@$server
set done 1
while {$done} {
expect {
"yes/no" {
send "yes\n"
set dead 1
}
-re "(P|p)assword" {
if {$missed} {
send \003
lappend missed_list $server
set missed 0
set done 0
} else {
send "$password\n"
set missed 1
}
}
"#" {
send "exit\n"
set missed 0
set dead 1
set done 0
}
"Last" {
send \003
set missed 0
set dead 1
set done 0
}
timeout {
if {$dead} {
lappend dead_list $server
set missed 0
set dead 1
set done 0
}
send \003
}
}
}
wait
}

Thanks in advance

change your ssh command

from :
spawn ssh root@10.1.102.13

to:

spawn ssh -oStrictHostKeyChecking=no root@10.1.102.13

with this option, it will not ask to manually type "yes", when you ssh to a new host.

it works here, thx rdcwayx....

but the issue which blocks me is still unsolved....which the script just wait "#" when i run it...

Is there anyone who can provide some suggestion on this issue?

you need manually ssh to the server which has issue, and check which prompt you get.

If it is not #, you need adjust your expect script.

That's the part which confuses me...

Manually ssh the server
$ ssh root@host1

I just can not get why the "#" doesn't show up as it does in the munual way.

Comparing the output difference, it seems that there is a shell launched after the login, but "expect" does not get the output....
