spawn telnet $ip
expect "login:"
send "USR\r"
expect "*assword*"
send "pass1\r"
expect "*$"

i want both pass1&pass2 option in single script , how can i do it????

Not sure I understand your setup nor request.

What keeps you from copying the scripts together into one and put an if/then or select decision upfront to run either?

Is ssh a possibility here? Telnet is kind of thorny to use at the best of times. For ssh, I think you could just install two keys and ssh would try each for you and be done with it.

I think in your case you just need two variables, each holding the appropriate password rather than having the password hardcoded in the scripts. Does that make sense? Also, if these two scripts are to be called from (let's say) another script, maybe the password for each comes in from the command line?

Of course, nothing about this setup is very secure at all. If you wanted something more secure then perhaps the scripts could read the appropriate passwords from a very controlled file? Still not great, but possibly better than exposing the password all over the place.
