Body
copied!<p>I have the following situation.</p> <p>My main <strong>expect</strong> script looks something like this</p> <pre><code>#!/usr/bin/expect -d set timeout 900 spawn main_ksh_script.ksh [lindex $argv 0] expect { "Press ENTER to Continue" { send_user "Message1\n" send "\r" exp_continue} "Press any key to continue" { send "\r" exp_continue} eof { send "\003\177\015" send_user "EOF reached\n" exit 0} timeout { send_user "Job timed out\n" send "\003\177\015" exit 100} } interact { \015 {send "\015"} \003 {send "\003\177\015"} "\033\[3~" {send "\177"} } </code></pre> <p>My main <strong>korn</strong> shell script (main_ksh_script.ksh) is a really huge script that does many things to the desired environmet. One of those things is running deamons and some remote jobs. Here's very short example...</p> <pre><code>while true; do clear echo "\n\tDo You Want to deploy xxx!!! ([Yes]/No) \c" read yn1 ; case ${yn1} in [Yy]*|$enter) clear echo "SomeJobName1" on Environment (${envNum})\n" secondScript.expect environment$envNum@host "Some command(s)" echo "End of SomeJobName1" on Environment (${envNum})\n" echo "SomeJobName2" on Environment (${envNum})\n" secondScript.expect environment$envNum@host "Some command(s)" echo "End of SomeJobName2" on Environment (${envNum})\n" #And so on... break ;; [Nn]*) break ;; *) echo "\n\tPlease choose Yes or No\c"; pau ;; esac pau done </code></pre> <p>secondScript.expect looks something like this...</p> <pre><code>#!/usr/bin/expect -d set timeout 300 spawn ssh -o PubkeyAuthentication=no [lindex $argv 0] -n [lindex $argv 1] expect { "Operational Job ended successfully" { send "\003\177\015" exp_continue} "Operational Job ended with failure" { send "\003\177\015" exp_continue} "Press ENTER to Continue" { send "\r" exp_continue} "Press any key to continue" { send "\r" exp_continue} "Password:" { send "mypassword\r" exp_continue} eof { send "\003\177\015" send_user "EOF reached\n" exit 0} timeout { send "\003\177\015" exit 100} } interact </code></pre> <p>Problem is, that when the main_ksh_script.ksh finishes, the first expect script (the one that invoked it by spawning a process) does not exit. I have to opet new terminal, and kill it by "kill -9". Can't even send Ctrl+c.</p> <p>Edit... If I remove "interact" from both expect scripts, I got no results. This is how the tail of the main script looks like.</p> <pre><code>expect: does " \c\r\n\r\n" (spawn_id exp6) match glob pattern "Press ENTER to Continue"? no "Press any key to continue"? no expect: read eof expect: set expect_out(spawn_id) "exp6" expect: set expect_out(buffer) " \c\r\n\r\n" </code></pre> <p>It still won't terminate by itself, and I still can not kill it by any other way, expect by kill command from another terminal.</p>
