expect for hpux 11i

[jagdeesh]

Hello,
i have to change the passwd for users in 180 machines running hpux 11i. I learnt from ITRC forums that the expect tool would be handy for using in script. Can anyone help me where i can get 'expect' for hpux11i and how to use it.

Thanks in advance.

You could try here

The HPUX 11.0 version should work

THe 11.0 one should be fine

I installed the deopt, when i used /usr/local/bin/expect, its giving error.

/usr/lib/dld.sl:can't open shared library: /usr/local/lib/libtcl.sl
/usr/lib/dld.sl: No such file or director
Abort (coredump)

Is there any dependency for this..? or how to install...?

TQ

Yes, you need tcltk.

There is a "Run-time dependencies" link on the URL I posted earlier but just in case, it's here

Thanks a lot Mark. Its working fine now.

I need some more help. I succeeded in changing passwd locally. But i have 180 systems in the network. I have to change in all. I wanted to use remote shell. Its not working. I m not sure, every system has to have expect installed in it? or any other way to do it? I m not even findin any similar queries in forums. Any help from u guys is highly appriciated.

No, I don't think it will work. I think "passwd" is more carefull than that.

I would either script a direct edit of the passwd file of look at implementing NIS.

Another thread opened might help you too as other people will start to look at it.
