I have an Expect script I've re-purposed from another process, and I would like to add in an IF THEN ELSE condition. I would greatly appreciate some help with the syntax.
The purpose of the script is to send a file to an FTP site. It works as it is right now (as in, the script actually does FTP the file over), it's just that occasionally the FTP site will reject my connection. It's totally intermittent, and I'm working with the company to get them to fix their damn FTP site ... but you know how it is. It MUST be something on my end.
Anyway, my goal is to get them to fix their FTP site or to migrate me to another one, but in the interim, and because it's good coding anyway, I'd like to add an IF ELSE THEN to my script. IF the FTP site returns a "Connection Refused", THEN try again, ELSE use my current code. Basically I'd like to keep trying until it works or fails 5 times kinda thing.
**CURRENT SCRIPT THAT WORKS TO SEND THE FILE (unless there is a connection error):**
Here is the error I get if the connection is refused ...
And out of interest, the message I get when the transfer is successful ...
Anyway, I would greatly appreciate help with the script to capture the connection refused error in order to try again.
Just to close the loop on this, it turns out you are a genius, Neo. Adding in a -vv switch, it turns out that successful connections are going to one specific IP, and the unsuccessful are going to a *second* IP. So I just need to open up port 22 on that second IP and life is good again.
I'm fairly new to scripting so this might not be possible.
I am using Expect with Cisco switches and need to capture the string after finding the expect request. For example, when I issue "show version" on a Nexus switch, I'm looking to capture the current firmware version:
