*************************************************************

Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f = fso.OpenTextFile("C:/vblist.txt")

Do Until f.AtEndOfStream

crt.Screen.Synchronous = True
crt.Screen.Send "ssh -l admin " & f.ReadLine & VbCr
crt.Screen.WaitForString "(yes/no)?"
crt.Screen.send "yes" & VbCr
crt.Screen.WaitForString "password:"
crt.Screen.Send "password" & VbCr
crt.Screen.WaitForString "#"
crt.Screen.Send "sh clock" & VbCr
crt.Screen.WaitForString "#"
crt.Screen.Send "exit" & VbCr

Hi ananthaa2000,

What is the password prompt?

Is it a lower case 'p'?

If not, you are not going to match it. That's why, you will find, where we include such things in SecureCRT's GUI (such as in Logon Actions), we "expect" all but the first character to allow for either Password/password to be the prompt.

If you "wait for" 'assword:', what are the results?

[ananthaa2000]

yes this is lower char p

Hi ananthaa2000,

Are you always faced with the inquiry that requires the yes/no response?

If not, then you must put that in an If statement.

Please post a screenshot (see info here about posting graphics in the forums) showing the interaction in the terminal window and where the script gets "hung".

[ananthaa2000]

Not always ..sometimes..OK i will try to use If in that.Thanks

Moreover can you guide me how to make this script in Automation ?

Hi ananthaa2000,

Have you ever considered using dependent session functionality in place of the "old method" of running ssh host from the terminal window?

Changes in SecureCRT 7.1 (Beta 1) -- February 26, 2013
------------------------------------------------------
New features:

• Added support for dependent sessions so that a connection can be made to a jump host or SSH gateway before the session is connected.

However, if you have configured your SSH session to the jumphost so that all the initial authentication is taken care of, then you should be able to make this script the logon script in the Connection / Logon Actions category of Session Options.
