How to execute an expect_script from shell script
Hi All,

I have written a shell script in which I am calling a expect script.
Code:
#!/usr/bin/sh
#!/usr/bin/expect -f
 
echo "Shell Start FilePush"
if [ $dmart = DVM ]
then
echo "Datamart is $dmart"
./sexpect.sh $1
echo "SFTP Over"
else
echo "Bad Argument"
fi

when I execute the script I am getting a following error.
Code:
try1.sh: line 57: ./sexpect.sh: No such file or directory

Can anyone help me to figure out where I am going wrong.

Many thanks in Advance

Do you have the shell script and expect script (sexpect.sh) under same folder?

post the output of this command
Code:
head -n1 sexpect.sh

also don't name your expect scripts with a .sh suffix

remove the comment "#!/usr/bin/expect -f" in the current script

Hi frank_rizzo,


Code:
[user@host archive]$ head -n1 sexpect
#!/usr/bin/expect -f

Also I removed the line below from try1.sh
Code:
#!/usr/bin/expect -f

I also tried after changing the sexpect.sh to sexpect

It didn't worked.

I really appreciate more inputs.

Thanks in Advance
