I have 2 identical Linux hosts attached to an HP MSA. I am using udev to create persistent names for an Oracle database. I have a problem where one host maps all of the devices correctly the other host maps all except one device which it ignores. The server maps the scsi device but udev will not...

Feherke That's great just what I wanted to do. Thanks Alan

Good afternoon Is there a way to compare two numbers such that if the two are within 5 of each other the result is true but if the difference is greater the 6 then the result is false? Thanks Alan

OK thanks, I've removed them. Alan

The sleeps are to allow time for the remote server to respond. The password is not password, I didn't take the \ out when I sanitised the password. Alan

Manual sftp requires a password. I need the expect script to use password authentication. Alan

Manual sftp works fine. Alan

I have an expect script that uses sftp to download files from a remote windows host. I gave just moved this to a new server RHEL 6.1 and cannot get the script to work. I can manually sftp to the remote host and list the directory tree. The expect script produces the following error...

Yes, thanks very much. Alan
