This brings back memories. I used this exact method of ssh-ing and executing tasks on a system while supporting remote staff in Ukraine while me located out in LAX some years ago. Love the combo of Linux w/Expect scripting. Excellent creativity! Good work!
I don't understand the interest : It looks like : you execute a script and you enter the password. So what the difference between that and root@server + password ? Always 2 things to write
Would it be possible to combine such ssh tasks via expect script with a python script? Just like bash commands can be executed within a python script, so could the same be done with expect? Or should ssh tasks be rather done with python only?
Isn't Expext written in Tcl, and doesn't it require its user to write their scripts in a tickle-ish style too? If my memory serves me correctly Tcl involved rife use of curly braces, or am I mixing this up with Lisp? As you can see I am not very much fond of either Tcl nor Lisp. I can remember that Tcl had a certain popularity in the 90s, especially among people who either needed to write Expect scripts or those who wanted to quickly script some sort of GUI for their otherwise dull CLI scripts, what would otherwise require much ado in C with an API to X Motif. But why would I need to write an Expect script to shutdown and power off my RasPi remotely? I use SSH key-based passwordless login to all my hosts anyway. This is the only requirement if you want to automate things e.g. with Ansible. Btw. you can even poweroff remote hosts through systemd's systemctl command. I think Expect made much more sense in the 90s when most people in the Unix realm still used telnet, and the BSD rlogin, remsh, and rsh commands to connect to their hosts and before Tatu Ylönen's (ha, I still remember the Finnish guy's name from the ssh manpage on HP-UX) SSH became available. Apropos, not to be taken seriously, doesn't a _grep | awk_ pipeline like in your little sample script qualify for the _Useless Use of Cat Award_ ? N.b. @08:25 if you want to avoid being forced to confirm the remote sshd's hostkey, when you login somewhere for the first time with ssh you could try to pass the following options to your ssh client. _ssh -o stricthostkeychecking=no -o userknownhostsfile=/dev/null ..._ If you want to avoid always having to type these long option args (ok, we all use our shell's history anyway, don't we?) then just tuck those two options (they are case insensitive but for better readability use Camel case, you only have to type it once) into your ssh client's config file in _~/.ssh/config_ within a Host block definition on two separate lines, and substitute the equal sign between parameter and value by whitespace. For more fancy ssh client options consult man ssh_config.

@@theeffectoflogic3 Thank you for your explanatory reply. Of course you are right with your deductions.

How does this compare by lets say using Ansible for automation. You could make a playbook for localhost and do the above without issues, plus you will have the benefit of all controls and plugins if you want to extend.

Thank you for this informations! Very useful. I have a task: I need to ssh into multiple switches (about 200. All the switches have very well defined names in the DNS) and I need to check one thing from their configuration. How about doing that? I guess I will need a way to grab the IP addresses, therefore modifying the 'arp-scan-l' line and then use a for loop I guess, right? In pseudocode it would be something like this. - grab all the ip addresses in the domain whose names starts with "blablabla" - foreach of these ip addresses spawn an ssh process ; - run the command for showing the switch configuration file. - eventually grab the config into a txt file or whatever.
Sometimes? I've been running the same script on 30 hosts for at least 15 years, and still have to fine tune it from time to time, because.... I don't know why. Something changes, distro is updated, anything will break the script. Sometimes. Or partially.
Hy. I Lear a lot whith your video, (I'm Italian) so sorry 4 my righting. Well can you tell me if termux is a good things to learn. Thank's anyway... You are really brave I mean how you teach.
Dude, termux is just a terminal emulator. You don't "learn termux", you learn to use the linux command line. Most commands in linux are the same in termux because both use bash.
You can be hacked if you set up any kind of remote access. That is the reason kali doesn't enable remote access by default. If you don't care, just install ssh-server on kali and ssh client on android using something like termux.

hi did you get any response or way to do it ?
Brand new haircut dude...
Example showing automation using SSH keys (so you don't have to login) and rexec command vs. expect? Expect is kinda wonky sometimes.
Sometimes? I've been running the same script on 30 hosts for at least 15 years, and still have to fine tune it from time to time, because.... I don't know why. Something changes, distro is updated, anything will break the script. Sometimes. Or partially.
