Telnet by using Shellscript (OSX) with Expect

Question

I want to connect a machine by telnet. Attempting to use Expect is not working. There is no username and password. Here is where I'm at.

#!/usr/bin/expect -f

Echo Hello World
telnet IP_Address_Here 10001

expect "]'."
send "^a200\r"

This works up to the 'expect'. This is the result of the code...

Roberts-MacBook:~ rameeti$ sh test.sh
Hello World
Trying IP_Address_Here...
Connected to IP_Address.lightspeed.irvnca.sbcglobal.net.
Escape character is '^]'.

And then it sits waiting for the command that I want to send: "^a200" Why is the 'expect' not working?

Answer 1

I guess you are executing it with bash instead of expect .

Otherwise, you will receive

invalid command name "Echo"
    while executing
"Echo Hello World"

try

$ expect -f test.sh

BTW, you should not name it .sh if it's expect.
