by expect script we create the database hive and some other commands
in case we run the expect script again on the machine that hive already created
then we get – ERROR hive already exists
so how to verify database hive already created ?
And by this verification we can escape the expect script
# su - postgres

-bash-4.2$ psql
psql (9.2.13)
Type "help" for help.
postgres=# CREATE DATABASE hive;
ERROR: database "hive" already exists
my expect script: ( from my bash script )
set timeout -1
#exec the scripts
spawn timeout 60 ssh root@IP
expect "#"
spawn su - postgres
expect "$"
send "psql\n"
expect "=#"
send "CREATE DATABASE hive;\n"
