Hello Team,

Am trying to write a script for installing PAM in mulitiple server by using expect and send command. Am facing the below issues,could you please assist. thanks.

Code:
[root]#  cat /tmp/gkscrpt.exp
#!/usr/bin/expect -d
spawn /tmp/agent/install_pam.sh
expect -re "(y/n) [y]"
send -- "y\r\n"
[root]# find / -name expect
/usr/bin/expect
[root]#  /tmp/gkscrpt.exp
expect version 5.43.0
argv[0] = /usr/bin/expect  argv[1] = -d  argv[2] = /tmp/gkscrpt.exp
set argc 0
set argv0 "/tmp/gkscrpt.exp"
set argv ""
executing commands from command file /tmp/gkscrpt.exp
spawn /tmp/agent/install_pam.sh
parent: waiting for sync byte
parent: telling child to go ahead
parent: now unsynchronized from child
spawn: returns {23661}
invalid command name "y"
    while executing
"y"
    invoked from within
"expect -re "(y/n) [y]""

Don't think you want -re on this expect (re is for regular expressions and the text you are trying to match is being interpreted as a regular expression). Try:

Code:
expect "(y/n) [y]"

instead.
