----------------------------------------------------- You can ping a host and test whether it was successful from a shell script, without needing to use expect. Hope this is useful, as it doesn't quite answer your question. Note the "-c 1" to tell ping to try just once. ping -c 1 chaucer rc1=$? if [ $rc1 -gt 0 ] then echo "Chaucer is down" else echo "Chaucer is up" fi Here is an example of telnet from expect; a very quick and dirty way to synchronize a clock on a very old machine. #!/usr/local/bin/expect set timeout 10 spawn telnet jansen expect "]" send "password1\r" expect "jansen???" send "su\r" expect "Password:" send "rootpassword\r" expect "#" exec date >/tmp/datesync.tmp exec cat /tmp/datesync.tmp set newtime [exec cat /tmp/datesync.tmp] send "date -s \"$newtime\"\r" expect "#" send "exit\r" expect "jansen???" send "exit\r" expect "host." _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
