Hi Dimitri, thanks for your help. I created the script based on yours but it never sends the expect back to the program.
#!/bin/bash #!./expect -f chmod +r /etc/passwd chmod +r /etc/group chmod +x /var echo "Starting Script" ssh-host-config # Host keys generation is lengthy procedure set timeout 20 expect { "*** Query: Overwrite existing /etc/ssh_config file? (yes/no)" { send "yes\r"; exp_continue } "Overwrite existing /etc/sshd_config file? (yes/no)" { send "yes\r"; exp_continue } "Should privilege separation be used? (yes/no)" { send "yes\r" exp_continue} "Say "no" if it is already installed as a service) (yes/no)" { send "yes\r" exp_continue} "Enter the value of CYGWIN for the daemon: [ntsec]" { send "\r" exp_continue} "Do you want to use a different name? (yes/no) " { send "no\r" exp_continue} "Please enter the password for user 'cyg_server':" { send "password\r" exp_continue} "Reenter: " { send "password" } } echo "end First Part" set timeout 5 expect { "Should this script create a local user 'sshd' on this machine? (yes/no)" { send "yes\r" } "new local account 'sshd'? (yes/no)" { send "yes\r" } } I took out the exec so I could see the script run and it simply hangs at the first query where it asks to overwrite existing files. Is there anything else I need to do to get this to work with cygwin?
