How to schedule a script (crontab)

I'm using an expect script running on my Linux box to reboot the XG nightly ... works well:

#!/usr/bin/expect -f
spawn ssh <XG IP> -l admin
expect "password:"
send "<Admin Password>\r"
expect "Select Menu Number \\\[0-7\\\]:"
send "7\r"
expect "Shutdown(S/s) or Reboot(R/r) Device  (S/s/R/r):  No (Enter) >"
send "r\r"
expect eof
exit

Hi Vik,

Thank you very much. This solution is perfect and works very well for our environment.

Best regards,

Hi Vik,

sorry for the late answer but you don't need to use expect for this - simply use 

ssh <XG IP> -l admin /bin/sh reboot

If you call directly command /bin/sh it works and you skip the whole menu. If you try it without a reboot, it looks like it doesn't but don't blame yourselves :D It's a shell without prompt - type ls and push ENTER - you see? :)

Best regards,

Jiri

I can get the invisible shell but calling reboot I get 'Operation not permitted'

What version are you running? I'm using XG Home SFOS 18.0.1 MR-1-Build396 and logged as admin

Thanks,

James
