Ok i have a software that always when restart needs to insert password is really pain in the ass so i trying to automate
This is my playbook
tasks file for terminal
- name: restart terminal <–this is working fine
service: name=terminal state=restarted
Ok here is the problem after restart the sever i need to see in the logs of the application and i found the following
[2016-05-22 04:32:19.581] INFO [Terminal-PasswordCallback] + more stuff in this line but i would like just to trigger the next task when found the content into the brackets because info is really common after restart the log stop specific to get the password
as i said befor the message that my software is waiting for the password so i create the following regex like waiting for this result to continue with the next task but is no working at all , i don’t know if I’m doing correctly or something is missing
- name: service ready for password
wait_for: path=/var/point/terminal/logs/terminal.log search_regex="*INFO [Terminal-PasswordCallback]
if the result is ok now i need to execute another program to ingest the password
i create the following task for it
- name: execute terminalpasswd
expect:
command: /opt/terminal/terminalpasswd
response:
Please enter password for terminal:“te2331”
when i run the program is give me a prompt that said Please enter password for terminal in this case i don’t sure if this is possible with the expect or no to ingest the password when the prompt is coming, any suggestions really appreciate
Thank you
