Hi I appreciate this is OT but could someone just give me a little advice, I've written this script to logon on each server then restart the ntpd daemon. The problem I have is it only restarts the daemon for the last server provided in the list, any ideas as to why and how to fix it? #!/usr/bin/expect -f set argc [llength $argv] for {set i 0} {$i<$argc} {incr i} { puts "arg $i: [lindex $argv $i]" set var1 [lindex $argv $i] spawn scp /etc/ntp.conf "root@$var1:/etc/" spawn ssh root@$var1 "/etc/init.d/ntpd restart" } ####################### expect { -re ".*es.*o.*" { exp_send "yes\r" exp_continue } -re ".*sword.*" { exp_send "<password>\r" } } interact When run I get the following: ./test.expect server1 server2 arg 0: server1 spawn scp /etc/ntp.conf root@server1:/tmp/ spawn ssh root@server1 /etc/init.d/ntpd restart arg 1: server2 spawn scp /etc/ntp.conf root@server2:/tmp/ spawn ssh root@server2 /etc/init.d/ntpd restart root@server2's password: Shutting down ntpd: [ OK ] Starting ntpd: [ OK ] Any ideas? Thanks for any help.
