Example.
linenum=`grep -n /home/abc.com /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf | awk -F: '{print $1;exit}'`
On the command line it always works, but in an expect script it always errors out stating that the $1 is not a variable.
can't read "1": no such variable
while executing
"send -- "linenum=`grep -n /home/$domain /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf | awk -F: '{print $1;exit}'`\r""
(file "./rmdomain.exp" line 43)
I think the following id the same problem. I'm trying to get the $timestamp variable to be used when backing up the configuration files prior to changing them, but it gives the same type of error message from the following code.
send -- "timestamp=`date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S`\r"
expect -exact "\[root@xxx root\]# "
send -- "cp /etc/vsftpuser.chroot_list /etc/backup/vsftpuser.chroot_list$timestamp\r"
expect -exact "\[root@xxx root\]# "
Also, the expect script slows down half way thru. I do have "sleep 1" commands in it to make sure that the passwd command doesn't get over run, but not the rest of it because they are straight commands like grep, cat, cp, etc.
Any help would be appreciated.
Jim
