Auto mount SSHFS with Expect HELP NEED :(

**baskar007** · May 18th, 2013

Hi all,

I am new to bash and expect.

Now I have a expect script:

Code:

#!/usr/bin/expect -f
set HOST "server"
set USER "roxsoft"
set PASS "***"
set PATH "/home/roxsoft/www/"
spawn sshfs "$USER@$HOST:"  "/media/server-ssh"
expect "Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes" 
send "yes\r" 
expect "roxsoft@server's password:"
send "$PASS\r"
exit

When I run this script I got:

Code:

:$ ~/server-ssh.sh
spawn sshfs roxsoft@server: /media/server-ssh
Warning: the DSA host key for 'server' differs from the key for the IP address '169.254.43.84'
Offending key for IP in /home/roxsoft-server/.ssh/known_hosts:1
Matching host key in /home/roxsoft-server/.ssh/known_hosts:2
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
roxsoft@server's password: :$

The problem is:
sometimes I can't access /media/server-ssh directory after running this script.
sometimes I can access /media/server-ssh but I can see only empty folder... (ie: server folder was not mounted...)

If I run this manually I got everything working fine..

Code:

sshfs "USERNAME@$__IP__:"  "/media/server-ssh"

Whats wrong with this?????

My guess would be that you should remove the last yes from this line

Code:

expect "Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes"

But it would probably be a better idea to fix your keys so you don't have to enter a password at login. Having a password in a plaintext file or script is never a good idea.
