I need to connect to a remote host and run a command. I have the following script (Which is not complete) and I am failing somewhere. I am receiving the following error when I run the script:
expect(): not enough arguments, should be expect(timeout, patterns...) at login_audit line 24
I pretty sure I am overlooking something so any help would be great.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w use Expect; use strict; #list of Global Variables my $password = "password"; my $timeout = 10; #Array for server list my @ServerList; #Server list import my $ServerListFile = "serverlist.txt"; open my $handle, '<', $ServerListFile or die "Error: Unable to open fi +le for processing."; chomp(@ServerList = <$handle>); close $handle or die "Error: Unable to close file for Server Import."; #End Server list import foreach (@ServerList) { my $spawn = expect->spawn("ssh $_") or die "Couldn't open ssh session to $_, $!\n"; my $ret = $spawn->expect($timeout, [qr/Password:/ => sub { $spawn->send("$password\n"); +exp_continue; } ], [qr/3par/ => sub { $spawn->send("showsys\n"); } +], ); }


I can't install any modules on this box so Net::SSH is out of the question.
