RE: [Expectperl-discuss] RE: problems with spawn

[Maloney, G. <ger...@in...>]

Thanks
	it seem that there also was a small issue with telnet'ing to an
win2k machine , where it asks for the Terminal emulation which it needs to
display the stdout.

So when I added the expect and sends for that and the interactive() , it
works.

Cheers G.

Yes, that's intended behaviour.  You can control that session by 
sending to it and expecting on its output.

Use interact().  This connects the process with the scripts stdin/out 
(your terminal).  BTW, storing passwords in cleartext has security 
implications and should be avoided wherever possible.  Maybe you could 
use ssh instead?

Hope this helps,
