Using Expect in HPUX 11.11i

[Joyce Tan]

Hi

Has anyone out there ever install Expect in a HPUX 11.11i before.

Can anyone tell me how to go about install it?

Regards
Joyce

We use expect to change our passwords on 10.20, 11.00 and 11i servers.

Here's a good sight:

hi,
i have also asked similar as Joyce response
today.
i have downloaded and installed expect but
still do not know how can i go???

[Robert Bennett_3]

Expect uses the the tcltk language as background support for the internal calls such as spawn, send, expect, etcâ ¦ Before executing the script verify that both expect and tcltk are installed by running a swlist.


#!/bin/sh
RHOME=/roots/bin
SSHBIN=/usr/bin

for i in `cat all.sites`
do
echo $i
$SSHBIN/scp $RHOME/ch_pass.exp $i:/tmp
$SSHBIN/ssh $i "/tmp/ch_pass.exp"
$SSHBIN/ssh $i "rm /tmp/ch_pass.exp"
done

Here's the ch_pass.exp expect script called in the previous script used for changing the root password. Just change the variables xxxxxxxx to the old and wanted password:

#!/usr/local/bin/expect --
#
# Expect script to change passwords in an automated fashion
# NOTE: Expect may be found different places on the server
#
# Variables
set timeout 10
set username root
set password xxxxxxx
set oldpass xxxxxxx

# Main
spawn passwd $username
# Possible initial output from the passwd command
expect "Old*" {
send "$oldpass\r"
} "New*" {
send "$password\r"
}
# Possible second line output from the passwd command
expect "New*" {
send "$password\r"
} "Re-enter*" {
send "$password\r"
} "Last*" {
send "p\r"
}
# Possible third line input/output from the passwd command
expect {
"Re-enter*" { send "$password\r" }
"New*" { send "$password\r" }
eof
}
# Possible fourth line input/output from the passwd command
expect {
"Re-enter*" { send "$password\r" }
eof
}
# Possible fifth line input needed to exit shell from the passwd command
expect eof


Hope this helps

Robert,
from my test hp-ux srv version 11i(B.11.11)

baan03:/#swlist|grep -i tcl
tcltk 8.4.9 tcltk
baan03:/#swlist|grep -i expect
expect 5.42 expect

Now,what must i do?

[Robert Bennett_3]

Install expect on all the server(s) you want to work with.

On your management server - set yourself up a file called all.sites (or any derivative thereof - but the script is running cat all.sites - which can be changed as you see fit) that looks like this.

server1
server2
server3
...

You may have to fully qualify these names depending on your environment. We place this in /roots/bin along with all our scripts.

copy the first script above to a filename of your choosing in /roots/bin (we use - chroot_pass.sh) and copy the expect script above to /roots/bin/ch_pass.exp

The chroot_pass.sh script will copy the ch_pass.exp script to that box, run the expect script, and the remove the script so there is no evidence of the password. Once the script has executed change the password variables back to xxxxxxxx.


Hope this helps

The problem lies here:

checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... cc

You only have the bundled C Compiler, which cannot compile code with ANSI features.

Download and install gcc
