[Patch] exception is thrown instead of error handling when no (password prompt) match is detected

Hi,

I've committed here a patch for a problem I was having with ciscocmd: the programm tries to access a variable, catches the resulting exception, and accesses the same variable again in the exception handler, resulting in yet another exception, which is not caught the second time:

can't read "expect_out(0,string)": no such element in array
    while executing
"set loginbuf $expect_out(0,string)"
    ("foreach" body line 35)
    invoked from within
"foreach host $hostlist {
        #####################
        # Login to the host #
        #####################

        if { [ info exist debugfile ] } {
                if { $FORK == 1 ||..."
    (file "/home/tpo/bin/ciscocmd" line 444)

Details and the patch can be found here: d42e317

The patch is against @leprechau 's fork, but applies identically to @eczema's tree as well

Ciscocmd fails with bash 4.4, but not with 4.3.

A Debian Stretch user named Denis (alias "sharlino") is reporting problems ciscocmd under Bash 4.4 but not 4.3. I quote his message:

ciscocmd is not working as expected with bash 4.4 (and maybe higher). On
today, 26-12-2016, the recent version of bash in the Debian Stretch is 4.4.2.
Downgrading bash from 4.4 to 4.3 has solved the problem. I think the
problem is in the IFS, particularly in the delimeters, because of:

The `mapfile' builtin now has a -d option to use an arbitrary character
as the record delimiter, and a -t option to strip the delimiter as
supplied with -d.

as per as https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu/2016-09/msg00008.html

I'm raising this issue for the proper follow up. I'll point the user to this issue.

couldn't compile regular expression pattern: quantifier operand invalid

Hi
I am not a well experienced programmer but google could not help me out with this issue
If I ssh to a Cisco switch I get the following error .

Processing... LAB-SW32
couldn't compile regular expression pattern: quantifier operand invalid
while executing
"expect -nobrace -re {'@'.
} {
set macro 1
if { [ info exist logfd ] && $logger == 1 } {
regsub -all -- "^G" $expect_out(buffer) "" add
..."
invoked from within
"expect {
-re "'@'.\r\n" {
set macro 1
if { [ info exist logfd ] && $logger == 1 } {
regsub -all -- "^G" $expect_out(buffer) "" add
..."

#####################
# Login to the host #
#####################

    if { [ info exist debugfile ] } {
            if { $FORK == 1 ||..."

And I don‘t know how to solve it .
Tried Telnet as well with the same result and ciscocmd on different Linux Distros without success.
What‘s wrong on that Regex ?

Support for NX-OS intial config through console

Hi

I had used this script a long time back and I think this would be really useful to configure multiple NX-OS switches using the console for initial remote deployment of switches. Would you be able to help me on how I can configure this script so I can go through the initial POAP disable and use the -r file function to use the config file to provision the switch.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Error executing

I´m getting the following output when trying to execute ciscocmd. I see activity in the target machine but then get this output.

Processing... 10.1.6.31

(file "./ciscocmd" line 467)

Any ideas of what might be wrong? Thanks

ssh key autologin fails

We're using ciscocmd in combination with ssh-key based autologin.
It turns out that ciscocmd fails to detect the next valid line if ssh key authentication in combination with a predefined ssh username is being used.

We have therefore enhanced ciscocmd to detect a possible prompt even before the first waitprompt call.

Maybe you would like to included that for the official version.
