I want to pass server name which is listed in a file (servers_list) as variable to spawn command which is in another script (user_create_script). Purpose of this script is to create user(david) in multiple servers.



#cat servers_list
server1
server2
server3


#cat user_create_script
 spawn ssh -t user@$i sudo /usr/sbin/useradd david
 expect "password:"
 send "pass123r"
 interact


Can anyone help me to achieve this.

You'd have
user_create_script like this



#!/usr/bin/expect -f
set fh [open servers_list r]
while [gets $fh server_name] != -1 
 spawn ssh -t user@$server_name sudo /usr/sbin/useradd david
 expect "password:"
 send "pass123r"
 expect eof

close $fh


I assume your remote user does not require a password for sudo.



More documentation about Tcl (upon which expect is built), including tutorials, is here: https://tcl.tk/doc/

It is a team of 2: just I and my supervisor. Diurnally, I am posed with a "bug of the day" to get out of this C++ code. My supervisor generally gives me about 15-30 minutes to solve it and then accosts me about whether or not the task is completed and then rinses and repeats this until the end of the day.

This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates. Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections. [2] Bakers' confectionery, also called flour confections , includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar baked goods. Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar. In some cases, chocolate confections (confections made of chocolate) are treated as a separate category, as are sugar-free versions of
