Network scp from variable date directory
I am trying the mentioned script as
Code:
#!/usr/bin/expect -f

# connect via scp
spawn scp root@10.71.15.34:/apps/log/ui/(date +\%Y\%m\%d)/BATCH*.log /root/BATCH_VSAT_MME01.log
#######################
expect {
-re ".*es.*o.*" {
exp_send "yes\r"
exp_continue
}
-re ".*sword.*" {
exp_send "qweasdzxc123\r"
}
}
interact

Here I am using variable date folder as per current date But while executing this script I am getting error
Code:
spawn scp root@10.71.15.34:/apps/log/ui/(date +%Y%m%d)/BATCH*.log /root/BATCH_VSAT_MME01.log
/root/BATCH_VSAT_MME01.log: No such file or directory
spawn_id: spawn id exp6 not open
    while executing
"interact"
    (file "./yogesh.sh" line 14)

Need your expert help for resolution of this and also need help for executing same type of script for IPv6 Ip address.

Security is better with trusted PPK keys than passwords in scripts.

Stick the command 'echo' before 'scp' for debugging your bad created command.

That was my first thought too. If you are already using "scp" then I'd recommend setting up keys that allow you to "scp" without needing a password. Then your scripts get much, much simpler.
