Genrating expect scripts
Posted on 15th February 2007 by Taggy0
Wanting to exectue a sequence of scripts like taking a backup of your $HOME and scp’ing it to another server ? and didnt know how to do this with a script ?
Expect does help you with this but writing expect scripts is not that easy anyway ;) .
Check out the autoexpect . Usage is as follows
autoexpect -f backup scp -r $HOME t@codelabs:/home/t/backup
Do all that you want to manually once and when u exit the shell you will have file names “backup” and u can execute it with
expect -f backup and it does it :) all by itself
