on_exec_prompt [2007/03/02 21:52] (current) – created - external edit 127.0.0.1
Line 1: Line 1:
 +======Synopsis:======
 +[[on]] [<modes>]exec_prompt [<serial#>] [-|^]<match> { <action> }
 +
 +======Description:======
 +This hook is triggered whenever an [[exec command|EXEC]]ed process displays a "prompt".
 +More precisely, it is triggered when the process returns any line of
 +output that is not terminated by a newline.  This is generally the case
 +with interactive commands, such as nslookup(1).
 +
 +======Parameters:======
 +|$0   |process number of name of the [[exec command|EXEC]]ed process          |
 +|$1   |prompt string to look for                                              |
 +
 +======Default behavior:======
 +If you do not suppress this event, the client will format the message
 +and display it to your screen **UNLESS** you are redirecting the output
 +of that [[exec]] to somewhere else.
 +
 +======Examples:======
 +To hook the prompt when using nslookup interactively:
 +   on ^exec_prompt "% >" {
 +      assign foo $0
 +      input "nslookup> " {
 +         msg %${foo} $*
 +      }
 +   }
