Help with timeout

[rleon]

hi

my script is pretty much working except for the time out

# $language = "python"
# $interface = "1.0"

def main():
        crt.Screen.Synchronous = True
with open('/Path/to/file/hosts2') as hosts_:
        for host in hosts_:

                crt.Screen.WaitForString("nfs]# ")
                crt.Screen.Send("ssh -oStrictHostKeyChecking=no root@" + host + '\r')
                crt.Screen.WaitForString("word: ")
                crt.Screen.Send("Mypassword" + chr(13))

                szOutput = crt.Screen.ReadString(["# ","word:","ssh: "], 10)
                #szOutput = crt.Screen.WaitForStrings(["]# ","word:","nfs2 # "], 3)
                index = crt.Screen.MatchIndex

                if(index == 0):
                        crt.Screen.Send("echo timeout0" + chr(13))

                elif(index == 1):
                        crt.Screen.Send("mount /rhelrepo;subscription-manager clean;/rhelrepo/scripts/rleon_fix.sh" + chr(13))
                        crt.Screen.WaitForString("]# ")
                        crt.Screen.Send("exit" + chr(13))

                elif(index == 2):
                        crt.Screen.Send("Password2" + chr(13))
                        crt.Screen.WaitForString("]# ")
                        crt.Screen.Send("mount /rhelrepo;subscription-manager clean;/rhelrepo/scripts/rleon_fix.sh" + chr(13))
                        crt.Screen.WaitForString("]# ")
                        crt.Screen.Send("exit" + chr(13))

                elif(index == 3):
                        crt.Screen.Send("echo timeout" + chr(13))
     
                else:
                        crt.Screen.Send("echo timeout" + chr(13))


main()

I am able to attend the 2nd password if the 1st one fails.

But if the host does not connect or can not resolve and falls back to the prompt

nfs]#

then it does nothing.

I tried in several sections and the timeout just doesnt continue.

I am also not able to echo the hostname into the error file.

crt.Screen.Send("echo" + host + ">> error" + '\r')

I am missing something .. but i cant figure out it.

Any help or ideas are welcome.
