Re: RE: [Expectperl-discuss] Expect on linux monopolizes cpu!

[SYAMALA.TADIGADAPA <SYA...@or...>]

Is this verbose output from the legacy program specific to the Linux environment?    Not.
What is being done with the output on a match, is it maintained or discarded?        Discard.
[ Do I need to any special action to clear the accumulating output from the program spawned by Expect?
After a match I usually take some action like saving matched pattern in an array, responding toprogram with some string etc. ]

 What is the memory utilization compared to the other platforms?  
I have notmade any measurements and/or comparisons against any other platform. Everywhere elese, the application is
behaving normally.
The only platform specific problems we've had with Expect.pm under Linux was a process count utilization.

Can it cause the perl executable to monopolize one of the CPUs?  Can you please educate me on this process
count utilization.
