Capture the command promp response??

[crossdelena]

Hi,

I am trying to write a python script which will enable me to login into a remote system and perform some actions.

However, when I run ssh through python, it asks me for a password.
I know I can create a password encryption key which will enable me to log in without any prompt for password.

But can someone explain me how can I capture the command prompting for a password and provide a password using python??

Thanks,

Cross

You can download the 'pexpect' module. It is a simple python script which will help you execute commands on a Linux machine. For more information : http://pexpect.sourceforge.net/pexpect.html

Thanks...I will digg into it!!

But one question is do I need to install this module separately cause if yes then I will loose the portability of my code??

Hi,

I have worked out a way of connecting to a system through SSH using pexpect module. However, now I am looking into establishing a consistent connection in order to execute few commands.

Can anyone help me out??
