Hi Vasiliy I did something similar using Expect (http://expect.nist.gov/)
It's pretty easy to automate interactive applications where you can't use shell scripts. I have used it for auotmating ftp transfers between servers overnight. ----------------------------------- #! /usr/local/bin/expect -f log_user 0 # time out setting (in seconds, -1 for never time out) set timeout -1 # directory to tar set tar_path "/usr3" set tar_dir "V4release" set tar_name "V4release.tar" set tar_temp "/usr2/tmp" # ftp server details set ftp_host "jupiter.galaxy" set ftp_user "downloads" set ftp_pass "" send_user "===================================================================== ===========\n\n" # make the tarball, pass z to gzip the archive send_user "Making the tarball $tar_name, from $tar_path/$tar_dir\n" exec tar cvf $tar_temp/$tar_name $tar_path/$tar_dir # make the ftp connection send_user "Attempting to connect to $ftp_host\n" spawn ftp $ftp_host expect -nocase "name" send $ftp_user\r expect -nocase "password" send $ftp_pass\r expect -nocase "transfer files" send_user "User '$ftp_user' logged in to $ftp_host\n" send "lcd $tar_temp\r" expect -nocase "directory" send "send $tar_name\r" expect -nocase "complete" send_user "Transfer of $tar_name complete\n\nClosing connection.\n" send "exit\r" send_user "===================================================================== ===========\n\n" exit ----------------------------------- Sorry to post all that to the list, and sorry again if the coding is crappy; but hey, it works :-) Good luck Gareth > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of > Boulytchev, Vasiliy > Sent: 13 August 2003 20:22 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [Samba] automating smbclient tasks > > > Ladies and Gents, > My project requires me to share IIS log files with my Linux box. > The outcome of this solution is using Webalizer instead of horrid > Webtrends.
