Introduction ------------- Exscript is a scripting language for automating Telnet or SSH sessions. It supports a wide range of features, such as parallelization, AAA authentication methods, TACACS, and a very simple template language. Python developers can easily extend Exscript templates using standard Python modules.
This release comes with many new features, and the documentation was also greatly improved. Please refer to the project page for documentation. Release 0.9.8 is now feature complete and expected to be the last release before 1.0 stable. New since Exscript 0.9 ----------------------- * Full support for SSH was added. * Greatly improved the prompt detection. This should now work by default with Unix, IOS, JunOS and many more. * Support for assigning variables in the Exscript template. * URL-style hostnames are now supported. * The exscript interpreter now checks regular expressions for correctness at compiled time, not only at runtime. * The "loop" statement now supports iterating over multiple lists in one run. * A deadlock when using TACACS authentication was fixed. * Character noise from telnet control characters is now properly filtered. * Exscript no longer deadlocks if an error occurs while writing to a logfile. * Performance was improved when many hosts are loaded from a text file. Dependencies ------------- Python 2.2 or better Python Crypto module Python pexpect module For SSH support, the "ssh" command line utility (OpenSSH).
