You mean the exit status of the spawned process?  Or do you just
want to check if the process got spawned OK?

For the first, there is $exp->exp_exitstatus(), but I haven't tested
if this gives you the right thing.  Another way to do this manually
is to add "; echo EXIT $?" to the end of your command and expect for
qr/^EXIT (\d)/. =20

In the second case, you would see the error as first line from the=20
forked process, saying something like "Cannot exec `command=B4: file not
found".

Hope this helps,

Roland
