Re: [Xen-users] Re: execute command

[Anand <xen.mails@xxxxxxxxx>]

I can't use the network, so ssh/rsh won't work. Sorry for my ignorance, i didn't know about expect. I just looked at the docs and am trying to install it (it complains about tcl even though i have tcl installed :( )

If you some example to help me jumpstart, i will appreciate it.

Use expect, as I was suggesting. Even if piping into "xm console"'s
stdin worked as you're suggesting, exiting the shell that's logged in
within a console session isn't going to exit the console session itself,
so that's an obviously bogus approach. Why aren't you going the ssh/rsh
route?

See http://expect.nist.gov/ -- or, if you're more pythonically inclined,
http://pexpect.sourceforge.net/. Expect to do some programming.
