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,

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,
