a) I am only a member access on the server, so not able to access 'root' account
b) not able to install any software on server
3) On server, there is not install 'except'

I have to write a script, which is ran from A server, login/telnet to B server, do 'ls -lrt' and send to me the output via mail.

I have only basic stucture....

run from Server A
1) login to B
2) cd landing path
3) ls -l > a.txt
4) mail -s "Status" user@domain.com < a.txt
5) connection closed

I tried this code.....
run from Server A
(
echo user
sleep 1
echo password
sleep 1
cd landing_zone
ls -l > a.txt
mail -s "Status" user@domail.com < a.txt
) | telnet B

But this script return the ls of Server A but I want the Server B

guys please help me...

I don;t know if it will be helpfull but you can try to copy expect from another AIX where you have it installed into your home directory.

from existing server I copied 3 files:
expect
libexpect5.45.so
libtcl8.5.so

to ~/expect directory (located in none root user home)

and 1 file:
init.tcl
to ~/library (located in the same, none root user home)

extract them to a home directory, set LIBPATH and check.

this is the structure where I extract the file u provided

atsingh5 > pwd
/auto/home/atsingh5/AUTOTEST
atsingh5 > ls -l
total 4120
drwx------ 2 atsingh5 staff 256 May 30 13:24 expect
-rw------- 1 atsingh5 staff 2099200 Jun 01 13:40 expect_.tar
-rwx------ 1 atsingh5 staff 203 Jun 01 13:50 expect_telnet.exp
drwx------ 2 atsingh5 staff 256 May 30 13:28 library

What should I set the new PATH ?? I am little bit confused ??
I think there is not any LIBPATH exist in AIX ?? only PATH variable is exist. Please correct me if I am wrong

I added this line in PATH

echo $PATH /auto/home/atsingh5/AUTOTEST/expect:/home/atsingh5/expect:/usr/bin:/etc:/usr/sbin:/usr/ucb:/usr/bin/X11:/sbin:/usr/java14/jre/bin:/usr/java14/bin:/usr/java131/jre/bin:/usr/java131/bin:/usr/lib/instl:/usr/local/bin:/usr/es/sbin/cluster/utilities

when I fired the query, I got these errors

./expect_telnet.exp exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program /auto/home/atsingh5/AUTOTEST/expect/expect because of the following errors: 0509-150   Dependent module libexpect5.45.so could not be loaded. 0509-022 Cannot load module libexpect5.45.so. 0509-026 System error: A file or directory in the path name does not exist.

please guide

knowing that you put library and expect directories to /auto/home/atsingh5/AUTOTEST

try

export LIBPATH=/auto/home/atsingh5/AUTOTEST/expect
before executing ./expect_telnet.exp
I hope that's all to do.

btw. the easiest way would be to use ssh instead of telnet.

don't you considere ssh as well?

thanks man...
but for using I have to create the public keys on both servers that's why I tried to avoid the ssh, if u have any idea abt ssh please share.

thanks man !!! it worked ...... :-)

May I know ur good name please ???
and one thing more, why we set the LIBPATH ?? (As I understand, it helps to find the library of expect but Is it not possible to set in PATH variable ??)
I did not heard abt this type of variable. Please share your comment.

Thanks a lot !!
