Wow, an old thread but just what I was looking for - this has saved me a bit of time reinventing the wheel so many thanks to the OP.

I have modified the scripts so you can add a port number and password to your router list in the form: ipadd/url portnumber password.

eg: myrouter.here.com 7023 mypassword

Plus if you want to take a router off the list temporarily, you can just add a hash in front of its name eg: #myrouter.here.com 7023 mypassword

There's also a little bit extra to cope with blank lines in the router list file.

draytekreboot.sh:


Code:
while read line do echo -e "$line \n" if [ ! "$line" = "" ] ; then if [ ! "x${line:0:1}" = "x#" ] ; then ./draytekreboot.exp $line fi fi done


draytekreboot.exp

Code:
#!/usr/bin/expect -f set sitename [lindex $argv 0] set siteport [lindex $argv 1] set sitepw [lindex $argv 2] set force_conservative 1 ; ; if {$force_conservative} { set send_slow {1 .1} proc send {ignore arg} { sleep .1 exp_send -s -- $arg } } set timeout 20 spawn telnet $sitename $siteport match_max 100000 expect "\rPassword: " send -- "$sitepw\r" expect -exact "\r> " send -- "sys reboot\r"

Just a word of warning on rebooting routers, If you reboot your router every day for 3 days in a row on an ADSL Max/2/2+ line BT will attempt to retrain the line from scratch, great every few months but not every day of the week, especially if you are having a problem with the line. a reboot every weekend normally solves most issues i have found
