Re^2: Run interactive commands with "Net::SSH::Expect"

I had tried that option, But I tried it one more time after reading your response....

I increased the time out period aslo I used "\s*" to match number of spaces. But no luck. Here is hte output:

# ./change_password.pl
The login was successful
Let's change the password of root on remote server now

I am pretty sure that my script is ignoring the "send" statements and then apparently dying.

Thanks for taking time to provide your feedback.

OK, I have made some progress. I ran the perl debugger and after the 2nd print statement, the debugger throws following error: `croak (ILLEGAL_ARGUMENT . " missing argument 'string'.") unless ($send +); croak (ILLEGAL_STATE_NO_SSH_CONNECTION);` [download] When I look into the "package Net::SSH::Expect", it is mentioned right on the top that: `use constant ILLEGAL_STATE_NO_SSH_CONNECTION => "IllegalState: you don +'t have a valid SSH connection to the server";` [download] So,..my assumption in my previous replies was correct, the script is ignoring the "send " statement because now I realize that by teh time the script reaches to execute the "send" statement, the ssh connection does not remain active. Could you please help me figure this out, I cannot reason why would my ssh connection get closed ??	[reply] [d/l] [select]
