In case anyone can use it, I took Daniel's script and reswizzled a few
things so now you can pass the pod, username and password as variables to
the main script. I also have the logins direct to the port instead of via
the telnet server (because I am too lazy to type the extra expect lines even
though Daniel already did for me :) ).
Here's the main script:
*#!/bin/bash
POD=$1
USER=$2
PASSWORD=$3
gnome-terminal \
--tab -t R1 -e "/home/user1/bin/ipexpert/R1 $POD $USER $PASSWORD" \
--tab -t R2 -e "/home/user1/bin/ipexpert/R2 $POD $USER $PASSWORD" \
--tab -t R4 -e "/home/user1/bin/ipexpert/R4 $POD $USER $PASSWORD" \
--tab -t R5 -e "/home/user1/bin/ipexpert/R5 $POD $USER $PASSWORD" \
--tab -t R6 -e "/home/user1/bin/ipexpert/R6 $POD $USER $PASSWORD" \
--tab -t R7 -e "/home/user1/bin/ipexpert/R7 $POD $USER $PASSWORD" \
--tab -t R8 -e "/home/user1/bin/ipexpert/R8 $POD $USER $PASSWORD" \
--tab -t R9 -e "/home/user1/bin/ipexpert/R9 $POD $USER $PASSWORD" \
--tab -t CAT1 -e "/home/user1/bin/ipexpert/CAT1 $POD $USER $PASSWORD" \
--tab -t CAT2 -e "/home/user1/bin/ipexpert/CAT2 $POD $USER $PASSWORD" \
--tab -t CAT3 -e "/home/user1/bin/ipexpert/CAT3 $POD $USER $PASSWORD" \
--tab -t CAT4 -e "/home/user1/bin/ipexpert/CAT4 $POD $USER $PASSWORD" &
*and here is an example expect script for router1:*
#!/usr/bin/expect -f
set POD [lindex $argv 0]
set USER [lindex $argv 1]
set PASSWORD [lindex $argv 2]
spawn telnet ${POD}ts1.proctorlabs.com 2001
expect "Username:"
send "$USER\n"
expect "Password:"
send "$PASSWORD\n"
interact
*So save the main script and make it executable, let's call it "rl"
(racklogin) to honor some instructor who's all about brevity. Create the
individual expect scripts. Then usage is simple. Say we have pod 109:
*./rl pod109 someuser somepassword*
I haven't tested officially yet, but will tonight on a rack when I have
access to one, but this should work.
Thanks Daniel for doing the hard work.*
